Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 1625 W Julian St in Wicker Park, owned by JeanMarc Giboux, has experienced several significant events since 2016. Most notably, in 2023 and 2026, there was a series of complaint-driven inspections in April 2023, all of which were resolved, indicating some tenant or community concerns that were addressed by the building management. During 2025-2026, there were three construction and demolition-related environmental complaints, with the most recent in March 2026 resulting in a founded violation. The building's permit-related inspections included one in March 2026 that was resolved, coinciding with a sanitation violation service request made in May 2026. Prior to these issues, the property had a no-water complaint in January 2025, though this was subsequently closed. The building's records show a total of nine violations, three environmental complaints, and three building permits over the past seven years, suggesting some ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that have required multiple resolutions. While most recent violations have been complied with, the frequency of construction-related complaints and building violations in recent years warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 1625 W Julian 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
9thpercentile
