Initial analysis

The 850 S Clark building in Chicago's Loop neighborhood, managed by AMLI Residential, is a 398-unit property constructed in 2011. The building's recent records show some concerning patterns, particularly in 2026, with multiple service requests indicating potential infrastructure or maintenance issues, including two pothole complaints (March 2026), a public way inspection request (March 2026), and a building violation report (May 2026). Notably, there are also two unresolved building code violations dating back to August 2020, which have remained open for over three years. The property has generated 38 311 service requests and received three building permits in the past seven years, while the ownership records show 84 total service requests and 15 permits under AMLI management, suggesting more frequent interactions with city services during their ownership period. While the building's age is relatively recent, these records indicate some persistence of unresolved issues that may impact resident experience, particularly regarding the open violations and multiple service requests related to building conditions and public infrastructure in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 850 S Clark 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
24thpercentile
