Initial analysis

The 84-unit residential building at 429 W Evergreen in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, owned by Evergreen Housing, has experienced several concerning patterns over the past seven years. The 1985 structure currently has five unresolved building code violations, with the most recent being recorded in October 2025, and three others documented in April 2023. Additionally, there are two open code violations from a periodic routine inspection conducted in April 2022. The building has generated significant municipal service activity, with 41 separate 311 service requests in the past seven years, including multiple open complaints regarding building violations and plumbing issues from April 2026. Other recent service requests include street cleaning and fly dumping complaints from April 2026, adding to the building's apparent ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges. While the building has only one recorded construction permit in the past seven years, the high number of open violations and service requests suggests ongoing property management and infrastructure issues that may affect resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 429 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.
