Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 1615 W 43rd Street in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Belem G Paramo Vela, was constructed in 1901 and has experienced relatively limited building activity over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 10 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the majority of incidents occurring in 2025. Most notably, in early 2025, there were two separate complaints about fly dumping, followed by a sanitation code violation in March of that year. The same year also saw two graffiti removal requests in the summer and a report of an abandoned vehicle in February 2026, all of which have been closed. Throughout this seven-year period, only one building permit has been recorded for the property, suggesting minimal structural or major system changes to the building itself. The pattern of service requests indicates persistent issues with waste management and property maintenance in the immediate vicinity, though all reported incidents have been addressed and closed by city services.

Risk rating

How 1615 W 43Rd 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
51stpercentile
