Initial analysis

Located in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, the two-unit building at 950 W Lake Street, owned by TINY TABLE LLC, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. The building faced a series of permit-related inspection violations in October 2019, with four violations recorded between October 8-28, all of which were resolved, though one permit-related violation from July 2019 remains open. More recently, between 2025 and 2026, there has been a pattern of graffiti-related issues, with six documented removal requests between October 2025 and April 2026, all of which have been closed. The most recent service request was for a leak investigation in March 2026. Historical records show three environmental complaints from the early 2000s, including two noise complaints (2004) and a toxic/hazardous materials incident (2002), though these are notably older and less relevant to current conditions. The building has generated a total of 37 service requests in the past seven years, though the nature of most recent requests has shifted towards maintenance and cosmetic issues rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 950 W Lake 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.

Neighborhood percentile
30thpercentile
