Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1509 W Taylor Street, located in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood near UIC, has been standing since 1903 and is currently owned by 1509 W Taylor LLC. The property, which has experienced minimal service activity in recent years, consists of five units despite the three-unit designation in some records. Over the past seven years, there have been only two documented 311 service requests associated with the property, both of which were related to public way inspections and were resolved through normal closure procedures. Notably, these two service requests are relatively recent, having been filed in April and June of 2025, suggesting the building has had no substantial maintenance or service issues during this period. The building's record shows good historical stability, with no reported safety concerns or significant resident experience issues in the available data. The minimalist service request history could indicate either proactive management or limited service needs, though this cannot be definitively determined from the records alone.

Risk rating

How 1509 W Taylor 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
16thpercentile

Out of 1139 buildings in this neighborhood, 957 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
