Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1745 W North Ave in Wicker Park, owned by 1745 W NORTH AVE LLC, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1885. The property has experienced relatively minimal regulatory intervention over the past seven years, with only one building code violation recorded, though notably this violation remains open as of March 2025. In terms of maintenance and public area upkeep, there has been a recurring issue with graffiti on and around the property, evidenced by six documented graffiti removal requests between February 2025 and June 2026, all of which have been closed. The concentration of these incidents in 2025 suggests this was a period of particular concern regarding building exterior conditions. While the number of service requests is not unusually high for an urban property of this age, the persistence of the graffiti issue and the open building code violation warrant attention, though it's worth noting that such historical infractions are often addressed through gradual maintenance schedules in older buildings.

Risk rating

How 1745 W North 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.
