Initial analysis

The building at 1218 N Maplewood Ave in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood is a two-unit, three-story residential property built in 1906 and currently owned by 25 Augusta LLC. The property has experienced a notably high volume of service requests and violations over the past seven years, with records showing 23 building violations, 52 service requests, and only 2 building permits filed by the current owner. Most concerningly, there has been a recent and persistent pattern of rodent issues at the property, with four rat-related complaints in late 2025 alone, all of which were subsequently closed. Additionally, there have been other quality of life concerns documented through the 311 system, including a garbage cart maintenance request and a vicious animal complaint in December 2024. While the building's age and size are typical for the neighborhood, the relatively high number of violations and service requests on record, particularly those related to pest control and waste management, suggests some ongoing challenges with property maintenance and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 1218 N Maplewood 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
