Initial analysis

The seven-unit, three-story residential building at 1743 W Addison in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, constructed in 1913, has been owned by MO2 PROPERTIES LLC. The building's recent history reveals a cluster of administrative activity in early 2025, notably six complaint-driven inspection violations that were all resolved by February 2025. The property has experienced persistent issues with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by a significant number of graffiti removal requests - with six such requests made between December 2025 and May 2026, all of which have been closed and presumably addressed. The building's overall service request history shows 36 311 calls in the past seven years, indicating that while some issues are being promptly addressed, there is an ongoing challenge with maintaining the building's exterior appearance. However, it's worth noting that the building has had only one building permit issued in the past seven years, which is relatively low for a structure of its age and size. The property has also generated environmental enforcement actions, with two violations and six complaints recorded over the past seven years, though these occurred outside the recent cluster of graffiti issues.

Risk rating

How 1743 W Addison Chicago'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.
