Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1158 W Grand Ave in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by P.& J.Soto, has a relatively limited but notable record since its construction in 1878. The most pressing current concerns revolve around two open violations related to periodic routine inspections recorded in May 2022, which remain unresolved more than a year later. Additionally, there is an open request from January 2026 (which appears to be an error since it is a future date) regarding the Shared Cost Sidewalk Program. The building's historical records show minimal issues, with only one noise complaint registered in 1997, though this is now quite dated and likely irrelevant to current conditions. Overall, the most significant current concerns for prospective tenants relate to the two unresolved periodic inspection violations from 2022, which suggest potential compliance or maintenance issues that warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1158 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.
