The property, owned by Debby Tsao, has experienced only one building code violation in its history, recorded in August 2019, related to permit inspections, though this violation was promptly resolved.

Risk rating

How 1354 W Grenshaw Ave'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.

Neighborhood percentile
96thpercentile

Out of 1135 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 are predicted to be safer.
