Ukrainian Village, Chicago IL 60622 16014140010000 12 units · 1914

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 12-unit residential building at 1023 N Rockwell in Chicago's Ukrainian Village, owned by West Town Housing, has been standing since 1914 and is currently facing some notable maintenance and safety concerns. The building's recent history shows an emerging pattern of pest management issues, with two rodent-related complaints filed in November 2025, though both were subsequently closed. There is also an open tree emergency and street light pole damage complaint as of June 2026, which could potentially impact resident safety and convenience if not addressed promptly. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years includes 207 total complaints, though only 12 of these were specifically related to the building itself. While there have only been five building violations recorded in this period, the property has received just one building permit and one environmental complaint, suggesting limited recent construction or major maintenance activity. Additional service requests in the past two years have included a closed leak check request in October 2025 and a closed e-scooter parking complaint in February 2026.

Risk rating

How 1023 N Rockwell 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
10thpercentile

Out of 1030 buildings in this neighborhood, 927 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
