Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 six-unit residential building at 1030 N Ashland Ave in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, owned by Myong S Kim, is a historically significant property dating back to 1898. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 35 service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring in May 2026, when there were five consecutive graffiti removal requests and one public way inspection request. Additionally, there was a business complaint recorded in April 2026 that was handled by the Alderman's office. These recent service requests suggest ongoing challenges with property maintenance and neighborhood interactions, particularly related to vandalism and potentially the impact of adjacent commercial operations. The building has had only one building permit filed in the past seven years, which may indicate limited recent construction or renovation activity.

Risk rating

How 1030 N Ashland 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
25thpercentile

Out of 583 buildings in this neighborhood, 437 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
