1224 W Grand Ave
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.
This building has 0 building violations (7y), at or below the West Town average of 0.9.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts building violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Unlock complete reportThe 5-unit residential building at 1224 W Grand Ave in West Town, owned by Grace Stramaglio and constructed in 1893, has experienced several notable events over the past decade. Most recently, in late 2025, the property dealt with multiple instances of graffiti, with four separate removal requests filed in August alone, and an additional graffiti removal request in August. The building has also had some environmental challenges, with three complaints recorded in the past seven years, including a significant incident in July 2015 involving code violations related to improper sandblasting and chemical washing practices. While these violations initially resulted in a $1,000 fine, the case was eventually resolved with a $0 disposition. The structure contains nine parcels under the current ownership, and while there have been only two building permits issued in the past seven years, the property has generated 78 total 311 service requests, with 13 specifically related to the building itself. An unusual tree emergency was reported and resolved in July 2025, and a street cleaning request was processed in November 2025, both reflecting routine municipal service needs rather than significant building-specific issues.

How 1224 W Grand 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.
Out of 2271 buildings in this neighborhood, 1703 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
