Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 562 W 18th Street, owned by Jason Wynne, was constructed in 2020 in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood. The building's relatively short history of seven years shows two significant concerns: two open building code violations from July 2022 that were generated through complaint-driven inspections, which remain unresolved as of October 2023. The property's service call history includes three 311 requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being an alley light outage reported in July 2025, which has since been closed. Two graffiti removal requests were logged and resolved in December 2024, though these were external to the building itself. While the building's overall violation and complaint record does not show a high frequency of issues, the presence of unresolved building code violations is notable, particularly since they have remained open for over a year.

Risk rating

How 562 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.

Neighborhood percentile
30thpercentile

Out of 3683 buildings in this neighborhood, 2578 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
