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 two-unit residential building at 828 S Miller Street in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood, owned by SHARP PROP LLC, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1885. The property, which encompasses two total parcels, has generated a minimal number of service requests through the 311 system in recent years, with only four requests recorded under the owner's account and two specific incidents affecting the property itself. The most recent service request, filed in November 2025, concerned an injured animal on the property and was subsequently closed. Prior to that, in May 2024, there was a rodent-related issue that required Streets and Sanitation intervention and was closed successfully. While the building's age is notable, the relatively low frequency of service requests over the past seven years and the nature of the reported issues (both of which were addressed through regular city services) suggest routine maintenance of the property, though prospective tenants should take note of the recorded vermin-related incident from 2024.

Risk rating

How 828 S Miller 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.
