Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 112 W Grand Ave in Chicago's River North neighborhood is owned by 112 GRAND LLC and was constructed in 1931. The property has experienced minimal documented issues over the past seven years, with only two building violations and four 311 service requests on record. The violations, both recorded on September 22, 2021, were related to periodic routine inspections and have since been resolved. More recent activity at the property includes four 311 service requests in 2025 and 2026, though these appear to be related to external maintenance issues rather than internal building concerns. These service requests included three parking code enforcement reviews and one garbage cart maintenance request, all of which were closed through proper channels. The limited number of violations and service requests over the past seven years, particularly those not directly related to building safety or habitability, suggests relatively stable property management.

Risk rating

How 112 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.

Neighborhood percentile
54thpercentile

Out of 184 buildings in this neighborhood, 85 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
