Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1933 W Grace Street in Chicago's North Center neighborhood is a 1905 structure currently owned by Brian & Kelly Shoemake. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most concerning being an open building code violation filed in December 2025 related to a complaint-driven inspection. While there were two other complaint-driven inspections in July 2021, those violations were resolved. The building has generated a total of eight 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being a garbage cart maintenance request from May 2026 that remains unresolved. Other recent service requests include three tree trim requests and a missed garbage pick-up complaint in 2025, all of which have been closed, as well as a closed alley light out complaint from March 2025. The property's documented issues suggest ongoing maintenance and service challenges, particularly regarding waste management and exterior upkeep, though it's worth noting that many of these service requests have been resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 1933 W Grace St'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.
