Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1401 N Milwaukee in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, owned by Milwood and constructed in 1895, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, particularly in 2026. Most concerning are three open periodic routine inspection violations from August 2021, which indicate unresolved building code issues that could potentially affect resident safety and comfort. The property has also been the subject of multiple 311 service requests, with seven graffiti removal requests filed between April 1 and April 27, 2026, all of which have been marked as closed. Additionally, there was one traffic signal out complaint related to the property on April 1, 2026, which has also been resolved. The building's record shows consistent maintenance issues requiring external intervention, though the closure of recent service requests suggests some responsiveness to these problems.

Risk rating

How 1401 N Milwaukee 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.
