Initial analysis

The 263-unit residential building at 420 E Ohio in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood, owned by 420 EAST OHIO LLC, has been in operation since 1991 and has experienced several notable events over its history. The building's most recent inspection records from 2020 indicate that two periodic routine inspections were conducted and successfully resolved, though these inspections do not represent major concerns. The property has generated multiple 311 service requests in recent years, with the most significant cluster occurring in September 2025, when there were three separate reports related to injured animals and vicious animal complaints. Environmental complaints show a concerning pattern of noise disturbances, with the most recent complaints occurring in April 2025, though no violations were found in these specific cases. The building's maintenance record shows minimal major infractions, with only two building violations recorded in the past seven years, both of which appear to have been resolved. The property has also generated two environmental complaints in the same period, both relating to noise. While the building's violation and complaint history does not indicate any major safety concerns, the frequency of animal-related incidents and noise complaints in recent years may be worth noting for potential residents.

Risk rating

How 420 E 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.
