Initial analysis

The property at 1622 N Cleveland Ave in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1874, currently registered under the name "TAXPAYER OF." The building's record over the past seven years shows an unusually high number of violations and service requests, with 2,228 building violations documented and a staggering 8,731 311 service requests, suggesting significant ongoing maintenance or compliance issues. However, the majority of recent service requests (2025-2026) have been related to external environmental matters such as tree maintenance and street cleaning, rather than internal building issues. The property has also generated 338 building permits, 10 environmental enforcement actions, 33 environmental complaints, and 3 house share violations during the same seven-year period. While the age of the building and the high volume of service requests could indicate ongoing challenges, it's noteworthy that the recent service requests have primarily concerned public space maintenance rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1622 N Cleveland 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.
