Unlock complete reportThe property at 1636 W 18th Place in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by Paula Valencia, is a 145-year-old building constructed in 1878. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of ten 311 service requests associated with this address, all of which have occurred within a concentrated window in June 2026. The most recent records from June 2026 show an unusual pattern of tree-related incidents near the property, with five emergency reports and two debris clean-up requests, suggesting significant tree management issues in the immediate vicinity. The most pressing concerns revolve around the three active tree emergency reports, as well as the potential safety and aesthetic impacts of the previous tree debris incidents, though it should be noted that most of these incidents have been resolved or are in the process of being addressed, with appropriate city departments responding to the various requests. While these recent tree-related issues may pose some temporary inconveniences, they primarily reflect ongoing municipal infrastructure management rather than structural concerns with the building itself.

How 1636 W 18Th Pl'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.
Out of 3674 buildings in this neighborhood, 1764 are predicted to be safer.
