Old Town, Chicago IL 60610 17042040100000 16 units · 1906

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 16-unit residential building at 1552 N La Salle in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by 1552 N Lasalle LLC, has maintained relatively low incident levels over the past seven years according to available records. The property has generated only two 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent being an open sign repair request from June 2026, and a previously addressed graffiti removal request from October 2024. Additionally, there has been one recorded violation related to house share prohibition policies, though this occurred seven years ago and no further violations have been documented since. With only minimal service requests and violations on record, the building's documented history suggests limited maintenance or regulatory issues, though this should be viewed in the context of the limitations of available public records data.

Risk rating

How 1552 N La Salle 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.

Neighborhood percentile
