Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 1347 N Bosworth Ave in West Town, owned by Raul Martinez, dates back to 1890 and has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently five unresolved building code violations as of April 2026, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection on April 28, 2026. These open violations warrant attention as they represent potential safety or habitability concerns that have not yet been addressed. The building's service history shows two 311 service requests within the past two years: a porch inspection request in April 2026, which was closed, and a sewer cleaning inspection request from May 2024, which was also closed.

Risk rating

How 1347 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
