Initial analysis

The property at 1284 N Milwaukee is a 6-unit building located in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by BADER LLC. The building has several notable issues, particularly an unresolved cluster of seven building code violations from July 27, 2022, all related to periodic routine inspections. While the total number of building violations in the past seven years is recorded as seven, the concentration of these violations from a single date represents a significant ongoing concern. The building has experienced twenty 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent activity focused on graffit removal, including five separate requests for graffiti removal between January and May 2026. Additionally, there was one missed garbage pick-up complaint and one public way inspection request in March 2026, all of which have been closed. The only environmental complaint on record was a noise complaint filed in September 2025, which was referred to the Streets and Sanitation department and appears to have been promptly addressed the same day. The property's record shows a pattern of maintenance and public space issues, with the most persistent being the unresolved building code violations from 2022 and the recurring graffiti removal needs in 2026.

Risk rating

How 1284 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.

Neighborhood percentile
8thpercentile
