Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1065 W Balmoral Ave 1 in the Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Sam Peggy Steward, was constructed in 1906 and has maintained a relatively low volume of municipal service requests over the past seven years, with only four documented incidents. The most recent interaction with city services occurred in January 2026 regarding recycling pickup, while earlier in 2025, there were reports of a street light outage in June and a water lead test kit request in March, both of which have since been resolved. Additionally, there is an open inspection request for the public way as of May 2025, which may warrant attention given its unresolved status. The building's documented service request history shows no pattern of recurring issues or safety concerns, though the age of the building and the relatively few interactions with city services could imply either diligent maintenance or limited record-keeping of service needs.

Risk rating

How 1065 W Balmoral Ave 1'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.
