Initial analysis

The 18-unit apartment building at 940 W Windsor in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Rayan Enterprises Inc., has been subject to a notable pattern of regulatory scrutiny over the past seven years. With a total of 60 building violations recorded during this period, the property underwent multiple periodic routine inspections, most recently in January 2026, where three violations were resolved. However, there remains at least one open periodic routine inspection violation from September 2025 that has yet to be addressed. The building's maintenance and resident services record shows 13 service requests to 311, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2026 including various complaints such as e-scooter parking violations, consumer fraud, fly dumping, sign repair needs, and a snow removal issue on the sidewalk. While all of these service requests have been closed, their varied nature suggests attention to multiple aspects of building and neighborhood management, though none appear to directly relate to the building's internal conditions or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 940 W Windsor 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.

Neighborhood percentile
6thpercentile
