Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14204240180000 6 units · 1899

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1024 W Belmont Ave in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by 1022 W BELMONT LLC, has documented a range of maintenance and service issues over the past several years. Built in 1899, this historic property has recorded 17 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent and concerning being two open water-related issues in mid-2026 – one involving water on the street and another concerning sewer cleaning inspection. The most recent activity includes multiple graffiti removal requests in late 2025, with three such incidents reported in November of that year alone, all of which have been resolved. The building's permitting activity has been relatively minimal, with only two permits recorded in the same seven-year period, suggesting limited structural or major maintenance work has been undertaken since 2016. While most of the historical service requests have been resolved, the ongoing plumbing/sanitation issues in 2026 represent the most pressing current concerns for this property.

Risk rating

How 1024 W Belmont 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
26thpercentile
