Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 318 W Grand in Chicago's River North neighborhood, owned by Lake Jefferson LP, has been in existence since 1964 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The most recent and significant event occurred in January 2023, when the building was subject to multiple permit-related inspections, all of which have since been resolved. The building has a total of seven building violations on record within the past seven years, though all have been addressed according to available data. A noise complaint was filed in June 2023, which was investigated but resulted in no verified violation. There have been recurring concerns about noise in the building's history, with similar complaints recorded in 1998, 1999, and 2005, though these earlier incidents predate the current ownership and are less relevant to current conditions.

Risk rating

How 318 W Grand Chicago'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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

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

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

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

Neighborhood percentile
