Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1823 S Carpenter Street, located in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood, has been owned by Carpenter 1825 LLC since its construction in 2019. The building's regulatory history over the past seven years shows minimal building code violations, with only one recorded permit-related inspection violation in September 2020, which has since been resolved. The property has generated a total of 35 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the majority of recent activity focusing on sidewalk-related issues. Notably, there are currently two open requests for sidewalk inspections from February and April 2026, suggesting potential ongoing concerns about pedestrian infrastructure. Other recent service requests include a street light outage (closed in May 2026), a missed garbage pick-up (closed in December 2025), and a garbage cart maintenance issue (closed in October 2025), along with an abandoned vehicle complaint that was resolved in the same month. While the building's overall violation and complaint history appears relatively moderate, the concentration of recent 311 service requests related to sidewalk conditions warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 1823 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

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
