Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 701 W Diversey Parkway in Lincoln Park, owned by G Janson & T McGuan, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Built in 1889, this property has been relatively active in terms of service requests and environmental complaints. Most significantly, during 2026, there has been a cluster of ongoing tree debris cleanup requests, with multiple open cases as of early June 2026, suggesting possible weather-related challenges or maintenance issues in the surrounding area. The building has also consistently received environmental complaints over the past year, particularly during the spring and summer of 2023, including instances of noise disturbances and one confirmed air pollution violation in May 2023. While three noise complaints were recorded between May and August 2023, it's worth noting that all these grievances were either resolved promptly or found to have no violations upon investigation. Historically, the building's total service request count stands at 71 over the past seven years, with 5 environmental complaints recorded in the same period, indicating regular but not excessive interaction with city services.

Risk rating

How 701 W Diversey Pky'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.
