Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1901 W Barry Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood has been owned by Elizabeth J Beckman since it was constructed in 1899. The property has experienced several maintenance and public safety issues over the past seven years, with six recorded 311 service requests. The most recent incident, currently open as of March 2026, involves a sign repair request. The building's recent history includes various maintenance and community-related issues, including two sign repair requests (one closed in January 2025 and another opened in March 2026), two abandoned vehicle complaints (both closed, one in June 2024 and another in May 2025), one graffiti removal request (closed in August 2025), and a sewer cleaning inspection request (closed in December 2024). While the number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this age, there appears to be a recurring pattern of signage-related maintenance needs, with three of the six requests directly related to sign repairs or graffiti.

Risk rating

How 1901 W Barry Ave Hse'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.
