Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 1806 S Carpenter St in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood, built in 1888, has experienced significant activity over the past seven years, with particular emphasis on recent months. Currently, there are three open service requests from 2025: an alley sewer inspection, a bicycle-related issue, and a water lead test kit request. Between August and October 2025, there have been several service requests including a dead animal pickup, a general information call, and a garbage cart maintenance request, though these were all resolved. The building's owner, identified as "TAXPAYER OF," has a substantial record of violations and service interactions, with 2,228 building violations and 8,731 total service requests filed under their name over the past seven years, indicating significant management and maintenance activity. Additional concerns have been documented through 10 environmental enforcement actions and 33 complaints during this period, along with three house share violations. The property has also required 338 building permits over the same timeframe, suggesting ongoing maintenance and modification work. While the building's age and history of violations are notable, particular attention should be paid to the recent request for a water lead test kit and the open sewer inspection request, which may have potential health and infrastructure implications.

How 1806 S Carpenter 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, 1617 are predicted to be safer.
