Initial analysis

The property at 1109 N Winchester Ave in Chicago's East Village is a 4-unit residential building constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Evelyn Kubiak. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues and pest control challenges, with the most recent being a series of three rodent-related complaints filed through the city's 311 system between March and May of 2025, all of which have been closed. This recent spate of rodent issues is particularly concerning given its cluster pattern over a relatively short period. Looking further back, the building had two significant administrative violations related to municipal code sections 11-4-1905(2A) and 11-4-1905(4A) in March 2010, each resulting in a $2,000 fine. The property has had minimal interaction with city services in recent years, with only one building permit filed and a total of 21 service requests under the current owner, though most of these (18 out of 21) are listed as "Unknown" in the system. The building's records show two parcels owned by Kubiak and a total of two building violations on file over the past seven years. While the property's age and history of pest issues are noteworthy, the available records show no recent major violations or permits that would indicate significant building improvements or concerns.

Risk rating

How 1109 N Winchester 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.

Neighborhood percentile
94thpercentile

Out of 583 buildings in this neighborhood, 35 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

The number of parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios can mean more management complexity.
