Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1509 E Marquette Road in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood is a 130-year-old structure owned by CTLTC 8002377943. The property has documented seven 311 service requests and one building permit in the past seven years, though the building permit record shows little activity. The most recent and most frequent issues have been related to tree maintenance, with six identical tree trim requests submitted and closed between October and December 2024. These requests, though now discontinued, suggest there was a notable concern about tree maintenance in the immediate vicinity of the property during this period. The relative lack of building permits and other service requests over this timeframe could indicate either minimal maintenance needs or possibly underreporting of issues, though this cannot be definitively determined from the available data. The property is recorded under two total parcels, suggesting it spans multiple land titles.

Risk rating

How 1509 E Marquette Rd'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
27thpercentile
