Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1934 W Race Ave in the West Town neighborhood, owned by Wade E Elliott, is an 1883 structure that has been standing for over 140 years. The property's recorded complaints are limited to two instances of noise-related issues, with the earliest occurring in August 2004 and the most recent in May 2008. Given the significant time elapsed since these complaints—15 years since the last incident in 2023—and the absence of any other recorded complaints or violations in the available database, it appears that the building has maintained a relatively stable compliance record in recent years. The historical nature of the property, dating back to 1883, places it among Chicago's older residential structures, though its two-unit configuration is consistent with typical multi-family dwellings in urban neighborhoods.

Risk rating

How 1934 W Race 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.
