Initial analysis

The property at 505 N State Street in Chicago's River North neighborhood is a 145-unit residential building constructed in 2009, currently owned by LPF 505 STATE LASALLE. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced minimal regulatory issues, with only two building code violations recorded, including one recent open violation from June 2024 and a resolved periodic inspection violation from October 2021. The property has generated 23 311 service requests in this period, with the most recent cluster of complaints in 2026 focusing on sidewalk conditions, graffiti removal, e-scooter parking, and street lighting issues, some of which remain unresolved. Historical complaints from 2008 and 2009 indicate noise disturbances at the time of the building's early occupancy, resulting in two administrative violations in September 2009, each carrying a $5,000 fine, though these cases are marked as closed. The building's permit activity over the past seven years has been limited to three permits, suggesting minimal major renovation or maintenance activity during this period. While the building's violation and complaint history shows occasional maintenance and safety concerns, particularly with recent sidewalk issues, the relatively low number of building code violations and service requests over its 14-year history is notable for a large multi-unit structure.

Risk rating

How 505 N State 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.
