Initial analysis

The property at 1714 W 19th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side, managed by Pilsen Resurrection, is a three-unit building constructed in 1889 that has experienced significant recent activity, particularly in late 2025. The building currently has six open, unresolved violations from December 2025, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections. The property has seen various maintenance and safety concerns over the past seven years, with a total of eight building violations recorded, though the nature and severity of these violations are not specified in the available data. Additionally, there have been nine 311 service requests associated with the property, including a notable water-in-basement complaint in July 2025, suggesting potential moisture or water management issues. Other service requests have addressed issues such as an abandoned vehicle (January 2025), street cleaning (July 2024), illegal dumping (July 2024), and a tree trimming request (May 2024), though these may not directly impact the building's habitability. The property has undergone four building permits in the past seven years, indicating some level of maintenance or improvements, while only one environmental complaint has been recorded during this period.

Risk rating

How 1714 W 19Th St 5'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.
