Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1943 W Division St in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, constructed in 1894 and currently owned by 1943 Division LLC, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. Most concerning are the two open violations from March 2025 related to periodic routine inspections that remain unresolved as of October 2023. The building has also faced recurring water-related problems, evidenced by three water-in-basement complaints (two in 2025 and one in 2026) and multiple building violations documented through 311 service requests. While a series of complaints driven inspection violations from September 2022 were resolved, the property continues to grapple with maintenance challenges, as shown by a rat/rodent complaint in October 2024, graffiti removal in May 2025, and various other service requests including tree trimming and building violations in late 2024.

Risk rating

How 1943 W Division St'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.
