Initial analysis

The three-story, 10-unit residential building at 1725 S Ashland Avenue, owned by Bronze Door Maria Ros, has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Built in 1888, this Lower West Side property has generated a total of 84 service requests through the city’s 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent clustering of incidents occurring in 2026 involving multiple graffiti removal requests and water-related issues. The building's maintenance history includes two building permits pulled in the previous seven-year period, though the nature of these permits is not specified in the available data. Of particular concern is a significant environmental enforcement action from September 2020, when the property was found in violation of regulations regarding sandblasting, grinding, and chemical washing of building surfaces, resulting in a default judgment and a $10,000 fine. This violation suggests potential past issues with lead paint safety concerns, though no subsequent violations are recorded in the available seven-year history. The property currently faces two unresolved pothole complaints from April 2026, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1725 S Ashland Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
7thpercentile

Out of 3683 buildings in this neighborhood, 3425 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
