Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1642 W Bryn Mawr Ave, located in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, is a 1907 structure currently owned by Karl F Vogel. The property's recent history shows relatively minimal activity over the past seven years, with only two 311 service requests recorded in 2025 - one regarding a leak and another concerning a pothole in the street, both of which were closed. The building's documented permit activity is limited to just one building permit in the past seven years, which suggests either minimal renovation activity or possibly underutilization of available improvements. While the building has accumulated three building violations during the owner's tenure, the specific nature and resolution status of these violations is not detailed in the available data. The owner has generated 16 service requests through the 311 system over the last seven years, though without further context on the types of requests made, it's difficult to assess their impact on resident experience.

Risk rating

How 1642 W Bryn Mawr Ave'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.
