Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1509 W Jackson Blvd in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, owned by Joan P Krone, has a documented history going back to its construction in 1889. In recent years, there have been several service requests filed through the city's 311 system, with the most notable being two water-related issues in April 2026: a check for a potential leak and an information-only call. Two public way inspection requests filed in late March 2026 and October 2025 remain open at this time, suggesting ongoing concerns about the public spaces adjacent to the property. Additionally, there were two recycling cart service requests in the latter part of 2025, all of which have been successfully resolved. Over the past seven years, the property has made a total of seven service requests, with the majority of recent activity occurring in the first half of 2026, indicating no significant pattern of recurring issues. While the building's age is notable at 134 years, the limited number of service requests and the range of topics they cover suggest typical urban property maintenance needs rather than any systemic problems.

Risk rating

How 1509 W Jackson Blvd'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.
