Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 1426 E Marquette in Woodlawn, owned by Eula B Hall and constructed in 1911, has experienced several significant environmental and safety-related incidents in recent years. Most notably, in January 2023, the property was subjected to multiple environmental enforcement actions on the same day, resulting in fines totaling $10,000 for violations related to asbestos abatement performance standards and improper disposal of debris during demolition and renovation activities. These violations followed a series of concerning environmental complaints earlier that year, including valid air pollution issues documented in May and an asbestos-related complaint in January that was subsequently resolved. The building has experienced three 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being an open fly dumping complaint from June 2026. A sanitation code violation from July 2025 has been closed, along with a December 2024 information-only call. The property's environmental record includes a total of four complaints and three enforcement actions, suggesting a pattern of environmental and safety concerns that potential residents should be aware of, particularly regarding past asbestos-related issues and air quality concerns during construction activities.

Risk rating

How 1426 E Marquette'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.
