Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14203170050000 2 units · 2026

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1447 W Roscoe St in Lake View, currently owned by Joseph H Drummond Trust, was constructed in 2026 and has generated a total of 12 service requests over the past seven years, though this is an unusually high number of service requests for a newly built property given that it has been in operation for only a relatively short period compared to the seven-year window. The most recent service request from June 2026 pertains to tree debris clean-up and remains open. Notable concerns during the building's brief operational history include a building violation in September 2025 and a construction violation with no building permit filed in March 2026, both of which have been resolved. The property has also required inspections of the public way and maintenance of garbage carts in mid-2025, and there was one informational call to 311 services during the same period. While the building has generated typical service requests related to maintenance and public safety considerations, the relatively high volume of these requests in such a short timeframe warrants attention, particularly the recent open request regarding tree debris clean-up.

Risk rating

How 1447 W Roscoe St'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
