Initial analysis

The 69-unit, 1979-built Evergreen Towers at 454 W Evergreen in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood is currently facing multiple concerning unresolved issues, with the most significant being six open building code violations related to periodic routine inspections recorded in May 2026, as well as two similar violations from February 2026 that remain unresolved. The building has experienced consistent maintenance and infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by a total of 32 building violations and 57 service requests filed through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. Recent 311 service requests from 2026 document various issues requiring attention, including an open pothole complaint from May 2026, an unresolved plumbing violation from April 2026, and concerns about low water pressure that were subsequently addressed and marked as closed. Other minor incidents in 2026 included a stray animal complaint and a parking code enforcement review, both of which have been resolved, though these issues appear to be peripheral to the main concerns facing the building. The concentration of unresolved building code violations and service requests, particularly those related to routine inspections and plumbing systems, suggests ongoing regulatory compliance and infrastructure maintenance challenges within the property.

Risk rating

How 454 W Evergreen Chicago'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.
