Ukrainian Village, Chicago IL 60622 17063120010000 4 units · 1921

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 four-unit residential building at 1017 N Western in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood, owned by Terry E Newman, has maintained consistent activity over its 102-year history, though recent months have shown an unusual concentration of specific issues. The early months of 2026 have seen a notable cluster of three graffiti removal requests in June, two in April, and one water-related complaint in May, all of which have been resolved promptly according to the system records. While the building has generated a total of 46 service requests over the past seven years, the majority of these recent incidents appear to be concentrated in 2026, with graffiti being the predominant issue. This pattern suggests a temporary environmental or maintenance challenge in the surrounding area, though all reported issues have been addressed through normal municipal channels. It's worth noting that the building's historical data beyond the past seven years is not provided in this record, and while the recent cluster of issues may raise some concern, they are all documented as having been properly addressed through official channels.

Risk rating

How 1017 N Western'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

Out of 1030 buildings in this neighborhood, 948 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
