Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1133 W Wellington Ave, located in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, is a century-old property constructed in 1908. The building's recent record shows particular concern, with five open and unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations as of June 2023, suggesting ongoing compliance issues that may affect resident safety and comfort. While the building has had minimal service requests over the past seven years, with only four 311 calls recorded, these include three tree trimming requests (though this service is no longer being accepted) and one fly dumping complaint that has since been closed from July 2025. The property has had only one building permit filed in the past seven years, which is relatively low for a structure of its age and size. The current ownership is held under the name "Wellington 1131 1133," and they control a single parcel. The concentration of recent violations from June 2023, which represent the building's most current and pressing issues, should be noted as the most significant aspect of the property's recent history.

Risk rating

How 1133 W Wellington 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.
