1353 N Ashland Chicago
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.
This building has 0 building violations (7y), at or below the West Town average of 0.9.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts building violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Unlock complete reportThe 22-unit residential building at 1353 N Ashland in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, constructed in 1911, has experienced significant administrative activity over the past seven years. The property, currently listed under the name "TAXPAYER OF," shows a particularly high volume of building violations, with a staggering 2,228 recorded during this period. In addition to these violations, there have been 8,731 service requests and 338 building permits filed, indicating considerable interaction with city services and regulatory bodies. The building's environmental record shows 10 enforcement actions and 33 complaints, though these numbers are relatively modest compared to the overall violation total. More recently, 2026 has seen multiple complaints regarding snow and ice removal on the property, with three reported issues in late January, along with two fly dumping complaints and one 311 information call in May. Looking further back in the building's history, a notable environmental incident occurred in 1998 involving asbestos, though no such issues have been reported in recent years. The building's total parcel count is 1,077, and while there have been three house share violations documented in the past seven years, these represent a small fraction of the total violations recorded.

How 1353 N Ashland Chicago's risk score is calculated

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
