Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 227 S Leavitt Street in Chicago's United Center neighborhood, owned by Whitney Lynn, has generated seven 311 service requests over the past two years (2024-2025). The most notable recent concerns have been related to rodent issues, with four separate rodent baiting/rat complaint requests filed between April and August 2025, all of which have been closed. Other service requests during this period included a sidewalk inspection request in July 2025, a tree trim request in December 2024 (which is no longer being accepted), and a blue recycling cart request in May 2024, all of which were also closed. The building, constructed in 1992, has maintained a relatively low service request volume overall, though the cluster of recent rodent-related complaints may be of particular note regarding resident comfort and building maintenance surroundings.

Risk rating

How 227 S Leavitt 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

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.
