Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1408 W Farwell Ave in Rogers Park, owned by Paul T Mulroy, was constructed in 1928 and has maintained a relatively low record of serious issues over the past seven years. The building's documented history shows only one building code violation during this period, which was a routine periodic inspection conducted in March 2025 that has subsequently been resolved. The property has generated a total of 49 service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring between February and April 2026, primarily focused on external maintenance matters. These requests included four tree trimming requests, a missed garbage pickup complaint, a stop sign repair request, and a graffiti removal request, all of which have been closed. While these service requests indicate some attention to the building's exterior and surrounding environment, they do not suggest any significant safety concerns or patterns of neglect within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1408 W Farwell 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
