Start with the address on your notice

Searches a local, violation-only index. Your search is not saved.

Tip: Leave out an apartment or unit number. City records are indexed by the building's street address.

A clear next step

From notice to a repair plan

The lookup helps you understand the record. A site inspection is what turns that record into an actual scope of work.

  1. 01

    Check the address

    We compare the street address with Chicago's public building-violation data.

  2. 02

    Read the record

    See status counts, dates, and the masonry items listed for the building.

  3. 03

    Request an inspection

    A local masonry contractor can inspect the conditions and discuss the next practical step.

No-pressure inspection request

Get eyes on the building, not just the record.

A violation description is not a repair estimate. Share the best way to reach you, and a participating Chicago masonry contractor can review the request and discuss an inspection.

What you are asking for

A response about this building and this inspection request. This form is not permission for unrelated cold outreach.

Your details are used to respond to this request and route it to a participating contractor. They are not included in the public lookup data.

Before you act

What this lookup can and cannot tell you

Does an open record mean the building still needs work?

It means the source dataset labels that record open in this snapshot. Status updates can lag inspections or paperwork, so confirm against your notice and current City records.

Why did my address not match?

The City may format a direction or street suffix differently, and records are generally stored at the building address rather than a unit. Try the street number and street name without an apartment number.

Is this a City of Chicago website?

No. NiceRight is an independent service using public building-violation data. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Chicago.

Is the result a repair estimate or legal advice?

No. The result summarizes public records. An on-site inspection is needed to understand physical conditions and repair scope, and legal questions should go to a qualified professional.
