Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1429 W Cuyler Ave in Lake View, constructed in 1898 and currently owned by Rodolfo Contelas, has recorded 15 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent and notably concentrated issues have occurred in June 2026, with three separate complaints regarding street light pole damage being filed in close succession. Prior to these incidents, there were two rodent-related service requests in December 2025, suggesting potential concerns with pest control in the vicinity. The building's maintenance record also shows a yard waste pick-up request from November 2025. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a building of its age and size, the recent clustering of street light-related issues and previous rodent complaints warrant attention to the building's external environment and surrounding infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1429 W Cuyler 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.

Neighborhood percentile
56thpercentile
