Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1336 N Western Ave in Wicker Park, currently owned by MO2 Properties LLC, has been standing since 1891. The property has generated significant administrative activity over the past seven years, including 192 service requests through 311, 18 building code violations, and 7 building permits. Of particular note, there is one open building code violation from November 2019 stemming from a complaint-driven inspection, which remains unresolved as of the latest data review. The owner has also faced environmental scrutiny, with 2 enforcement actions and 6 complaints registered against their properties during this period. While the building's age and location suggest it has undergone various maintenance and regulatory requirements over the years, the persistence of the 2019 building code violation and the relatively high volume of service requests and violations compared to other similar properties in the area warrant attention to the building's maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 1336 N Western 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
11thpercentile
