Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1122 W 18th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by Arthuros Rivas, is a 132-year-old structure built in 1891. Over the past seven years, there have been five documented 311 service requests associated with this property, all of which have been resolved. The most recent incident occurred in March 2026 involving a graffiti removal request, while another graffiti removal request was logged and closed in May 2024. The property has also experienced infrastructure issues on the surrounding street, with a pothole complaint recorded and resolved in December 2025. Three graffiti-related incidents were concentrated in the summer of 2025, with both August requests being processed through the 311 City Services Department. While the presence of multiple graffiti removal requests might suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity, it's worth noting that all reported issues have been addressed and closed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 1122 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.
