Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1356 N Cleveland Ave in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood is a three-story structure built in 1969, currently owned by Marija Janic. Over the past seven years, the property has had a total of seven recorded service requests through the 311 system. Most notably, there appears to have been a cluster of tree-related service requests in early to mid-2026, with three separate tree trim requests in January and May of that year. There were also two water-related incidents in April 2024, both concerning water on the street, which could potentially indicate drainage or plumbing issues in the vicinity. The most recent service request on record was a general information call to 311 in November 2025. While the number of service requests is relatively limited for a multi-unit building over this time period, the recent concentration of tree-related requests in 2026 and the two water incidents in 2024 may merit attention from a resident perspective.

Risk rating

How 1356 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.
