Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 525 W 46th Place in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Nathan Krull, is a historic structure dating back to 1878. The building's recent service request records for the 2025-2026 winter season show a consistent pattern of snow-related maintenance needs, with six separate requests for snow object/dibs removal between December 22, 2025, and February 3, 2026, though all of these requests have been marked as closed. These snow removal requests represent the bulk of the building's service requests in recent years, with no documented complaints or issues that would significantly impact resident safety or comfort. The building's permit record shows only one building permit application in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available data. The property's record reflects typical winter maintenance activity for a two-unit building of its age, with no apparent pattern of recurring maintenance issues or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 525 W 46Th 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

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.
