Lower West Side, Chicago IL 60608 17204080120000 4 units · 1888

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 four-unit residential building at 1113 W 18th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by Magdalena Duarte, is a historic property dating back to 1888. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 13 service requests to the city's 311 system, with the majority of recent complaints occurring in 2025-2026. The most recent open issues involve an alley pothole complaint and a public way inspection request from 2026, suggesting ongoing concerns with the immediate surroundings. The building has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, as evidenced by three removal requests in December 2025 alone, plus another graffiti complaint in January 2026, though these have all been marked as closed. A fly dumping incident reported in October 2025 was also resolved. The property has received minimal official attention in terms of building permits, with only two permits being issued over the past seven years, which could indicate either limited recent modifications or an area of focus for future improvements.

Risk rating

How 1113 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

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.
