Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1412 N Bosworth Ave in West Town, owned by Margaret Carey, has experienced several concerning events over the past few years. Most notably, in late 2024, the property underwent three separate complaint-driven inspections that resulted in building code violations, though these were subsequently resolved. Additionally, there is an unresolved building code violation from March 2021 that raises questions about the building's maintenance history. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests, with four incidents recorded in the past seven years. The most recent requests include a dead animal pick-up in July 2025, a building violation in December 2024, and two vicious animal complaints in September 2024, all of which have been closed. While the building has had two building permits issued to the owner during this period, the frequency and nature of the complaints and violations suggest ongoing challenges with property maintenance and safety that should be noted.

Risk rating

How 1412 N Bosworth Ave'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
