Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 1508 W 18th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side, known as AC2C 18TH ST SERIES, is a century-old property constructed in 1915. The building's recent history over the past seven years (2016-2023) shows a pattern of various incident reports and service requests, with particular attention to environmental issues in the spring of 2025. Notably, there were three consecutive noise complaints filed in May 2025, all of which were resolved within two weeks of reporting. The property has also experienced typical urban issues such as graffiti (reported and resolved in May 2024), sanitation concerns (including a sanitation code violation and garbage cart maintenance requests in July 2025), and waste management matters (blue recycling cart issues in February 2026). Out of the six total 311 service requests recorded in the past seven years, four have been resolved, while there remains one open business complaint from June 2026. The building has required minimal structural oversight during this period, with only two building permits pulled, and the environmental complaints (three noise-related incidents) represent the most significant cluster of issues on record, though all were addressed through the proper channels.

How 1508 W 18Th 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.
Out of 3674 buildings in this neighborhood, 2939 are predicted to be safer.
