Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 222 E Ontario Street in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood, owned by J & M Trboyevic, has experienced a concerning pattern of building code violations and service requests over the past several years. Most notably, there are currently four open building code violations stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted in December 2024, along with an additional open violation from a periodic routine inspection in June 2024 and one from November 2021. While one permit-related violation from October 2021 has been resolved, the persistent nature of these open violations warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 222 E Ontario 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

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
85thpercentile

Out of 27 buildings in this neighborhood, 4 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
