Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1151 W Erie St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood has been under current ownership by 1151 W Erie LLC since its construction in 1883. The property has experienced minimal documented issues over the past seven years, with only one building code violation recorded, though notably this violation from March 2021 remains unresolved as of the latest available data. The building has generated a total of 12 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent activity occurring in June 2026 involving a fly dumping complaint and a March 2026 sidewalk inspection request, both of which remain open. While earlier issues including graffiti removal, a missing street light pole door, and a tree trim request were addressed and closed in 2025, these incidents suggest periodic maintenance challenges in the surrounding infrastructure. The property has only required one building permit in the past seven years, indicating relatively stable structural conditions.

Risk rating

How 1151 W Erie St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
