AI summary

The property at 163 W Ohio in Chicago's River North neighborhood, currently owned by Annichini Brothers, is a 24-unit residential building constructed in 1997. The building's recent records show significant activity in 2025, with five unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded as of September 30, 2025. The building has experienced relatively low frequency of service requests overall, with a total of 11 requests in the past seven years, including three graffiti removal requests in 2024-2025, one finance parking code enforcement review in August 2025, and one building violation request in March 2025, all of which have been resolved. While the graffiti issues have been consistently addressed through the city's service request system, the most pressing concern appears to be the outstanding periodic routine inspection violations from September 2025, which warrant attention given their unresolved status. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one permit filed in the past seven years, though it's worth noting that routine inspections typically do not require a permit.

Risk rating

How 163 W Ohio 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
