Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1903 W Evergreen Ave in Wicker Park is a historic structure dating back to 1890, currently owned by Alex Mercado. The property's record over the past seven years shows minimal service requests, with only one being recorded through the 311 system during this period. This single service request, lodged on March 24, 2025, concerns a tree planting request and is currently in an open status. The building's service history demonstrates relatively low maintenance or service needs, with no recorded complaints or emergency services calls, though it should be noted that the tree planting request is somewhat atypical for residential service requests and not directly related to building conditions or resident services.

Risk rating

How 1903 W Evergreen 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
89thpercentile
