Initial analysis

The 94-unit residential building at 1040 W Hollywood in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Hollywood Property LLC, has been standing since 1968 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the four unresolved building code violations from March 2023, which were part of complaint-driven inspections, indicating current deficiencies that have not yet been addressed. Additionally, there were two building code violations from February 2023 related to periodic routine inspections that have been resolved. The building has generated a total of 35 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of activity in April and May 2026, including multiple rodent-related complaints and two alley pothole issues, all of which have been closed. The property has maintained a relatively steady level of maintenance requests, though the presence of multiple recent violations and unresolved building code issues suggests some ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident concerns.

Risk rating

How 1040 W Hollywood Chicago'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.
