Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 1735 W 16th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side is a historic building dating back to 1878, currently owned by Alejandro Andrade. The building's documented file shows minimal recent service requests, with only two incidents reported through the 311 system in the past seven years, both occurring in 2024. Both complaints were related to basic infrastructure issues in the vicinity of the property, specifically a street light outage in June 2024 and a fly dumping incident in September 2024, both of which have been marked as closed in the city’s system. The relatively low number of service requests over this period, especially considering the age of the building, suggests either minimal recent issues or potentially limited reporting of problems, though without additional context it's difficult to draw definitive conclusions about building conditions or management.

Risk rating

How 1735 W 16Th 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.
