Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1831 W Belle Plaine Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, built in 1910 and currently owned by Deutsche Bank National, has experienced several notable incidents over the past three years. Most significantly, in May 2023, the building underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections resulting in six code violations, though all were promptly resolved. The property has a concerning history of violations, with 17 recorded in total, including 11 specifically related to vacancy or abandonment issues, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance or occupancy challenges. The building has generated a total of 114 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring in 2024, when residents reported multiple issues including tree debris (both in June and May), fly dumping (June), and yard waste pickup (May). These incidents, along with a closed request regarding an abandoned vehicle and garbage cart maintenance, indicate some recurring concerns about exterior property maintenance and neighborhood cleanliness around the building. While the property has had only one building permit issued in the past seven years, the resolution of recent violations and the relatively limited number of service requests in the past year suggest some improvement in building conditions, though the high number of historical violations and service requests warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 1831 W Belle Plaine 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
