* Unit counts are interpreted from the permit description, and will exclude some permits that don't include the count in the description. Unit counts also exclude: townhouses, permits with descriptions that use words instead of numbers to count, and permits with misspelled words in the description. Single-unit houses are likely to be overcounted, while multi-unit buildings are likely to be undercounted.

Some reports to 311 may not be shown because they were not mapped during the intake. They have no address and we cannot map them. Data is available for reports made to 311 since December 18, 2018. Report a vacant or abandoned building on Chicago's 311 website.
Not every homeowner reports to Chicago's 311 system when their basement is flooding. According to the Illinois Urban Flooding Awareness Act report of 2015, "there is hesitancy on the part of property owners to report or disclose flooding issues typically due to a concern that it would lessen the property value" (page 73).
Unreported basement flooding has community-wide impacts: "Renters are often uninformed of their risk. There are multiple consequences of not reporting flood issues: new owners do not have the information to mitigate potential flooding and may be caught unaware; renters may experience unexpected losses; communities do not have complete information to develop plans." (page 73).
