Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story building at 1023 W Lake St in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, owned by Moonshot Investments, has documented both building violations and municipal service requests over the past decade that warrant attention. Most notably, the building currently has three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations from June 2025, representing the most significant and recent compliance concerns. While the property has experienced multiple issues, it's worth mentioning that two other building violations from August 2023 and July 2022 were resolved, indicating some responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The building has generated a range of service requests, with the most recent being related to dead bird removal and fly dumping complaints in early 2026. Several sidewalk inspection requests were made in mid-2025, all of which have been resolved. While the frequency of service requests and violations may suggest some maintenance challenges, particularly with the open violations from 2025, the property's historical record also shows periods of compliance and resolution of various issues. An old environmental noise complaint from 2010 appears to be the only documented issue of that nature in the building's history.

Risk rating

How 1023 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
39thpercentile
