Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1505 N Rockwell St in Wicker Park, owned by Jose M Borges, has been standing since 1904 and has had its share of maintenance and service requests over the past seven years. The most recent concerns involve two tree-related matters: a tree removal inspection filed in May 2026 and a tree planting request from November 2024, both of which remain open. The property has experienced several weather-related issues, including a snow-clearing complaint regarding an uncleared sidewalk in December 2025, and there's been at least one building violation recorded in December 2024, though this was subsequently closed. Other neighborhood incidents that have been reported and resolved include a street pothole complaint in March 2026 and a fly dumping issue in April 2025. Notably, the frequency of service requests has varied over the years, with the most recent filings primarily focusing on municipal infrastructure and environmental concerns rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1505 N Rockwell St 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.

Neighborhood percentile
66thpercentile

Out of 1722 buildings in this neighborhood, 585 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
