Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 517 W 45th Place in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Antonio H. Caballero, has a notable history since its construction in 1888. Most concerning are six unresolved building code violations recorded in March 2023, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections within a single day, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the provided data. In recent service requests, there have been three documented issues related to garbage management, including two instances of garbage cart maintenance concerns (one in July 2024 and another in April 2025) and a missed garbage pick-up complaint in October 2025; however, these were all successfully resolved as evidenced by their "Closed" status. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows a higher frequency of violations and service requests compared to many residential properties, with particular attention needed to address the still-open violation cases from 2023 that suggest ongoing regulatory compliance concerns.

Risk rating

How 517 W 45Th Pl'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
11thpercentile
