Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1300 W Schubert Ave in Lincoln Park, owned by Robert M Gerstein, has a documented history dating back to its 1888 construction. The property's recent record (past seven years) shows a concerning pattern of unresolved issues, particularly four open complaint-driven inspection violations from January 2020 that remain outstanding, though there were two similar violations from December 2019 that were successfully resolved. The building has generated a total of 35 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent requests in May 2026 including an open tree planting request and a closed abandoned vehicle complaint. Prior to these, there were several winter-related service requests in December 2025 for ice and snow removal (three in total) and another abandoned vehicle complaint that closed earlier the same month. Notably, throughout this seven-year period, only one building permit has been issued for the property, which stands in contrast to the relatively high number of violations and service requests recorded.

Risk rating

How 1300 W Schubert 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
17thpercentile

Out of 1544 buildings in this neighborhood, 1282 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
