EveryBlock
I currently live in the suburbs, but last year I had my own place in the city. I looked up my former zip code, 60625, to see what I could come up with.
Less than one block from my former apartment, I found an aggravated assault crime report. That floored me! The case was domestic, which sadly makes me feel better, but that was such a quiet little mixed neighborhood, complete with young families and elderly grandparents. Assault with a knife/cutting instrument in my former neighborhood still shocks me.
Thankfully, along with the assault charge, I found a domestic battery charge. At least the victim did something about the attack. In this day and age, too many victims are taking back their attackers. I don’t know anything more about the case, but at least this victim took the necessary steps to make life safer.
Otherwise, all I could really find in my former area were simple property transfers or restaurant reviews. Looking at this site made me miss my old apartment.
