Lower West Side, Chicago IL 60608 17203050390000 6 units · 1888

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1316 W 18th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by Capital Three Partners, was constructed in 1888 and has been subject to regular municipal services and tenant needs. Over the past seven years, the property has generated three service requests in 2025 alone, all of which were successfully resolved, mainly related to waste management and recycling services. In August 2025, there was one instance of a missed garbage pick-up complaint and four recycling pick-up requests, demonstrating regular waste management activity in the building. The property also had one tree trimming request in January 2026, though this type of request is no longer being accepted under current municipal guidelines. The building's service request history appears relatively low in volume for its size and age, with all recorded incidents being routine municipal service matters rather than safety or maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 1316 W 18Th 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.
