West Town, Chicago IL 60642 17082170220000 3 units · 1893

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 three-unit residential building at 1106 W Erie St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, constructed in 1893, has experienced significant administrative activity over the past seven years, with some concerning trends emerging. The property, currently listed under the ownership of the "TAXPAYER OF," has accumulated a staggering total of 2,228 building violations during this period, alongside an unusually high number of 8,731 service requests. While the building has maintained some level of activity in infrastructure and safety upkeep with 338 building permits issued, the high violation count stands out as particularly noteworthy. Environmental concerns have also emerged, with 10 enforcement actions and 33 complaints recorded, though these numbers are relatively fewer compared to the overall total of violations. Most recently, in 2026 alone, there have been multiple instances of graffiti that required municipal removal services, with three separate requests processed between January and April of this year. The building's documented history suggests a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly when considering the significant number of violations relative to its three-unit size.

Risk rating

How 1106 W Erie 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.
