Initial analysis

The 13-unit residential building at 1023 W Garfield in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Marquette Bank, has been subject to multiple regulatory actions and service requests over recent years. Built in 1926, this property has experienced persistent issues requiring attention, with five building code violations recorded in the past seven years, including four open violations from 2025 related to routine and complaint-driven inspections. The building's maintenance history shows five building permits filed and one environmental complaint in the same period. A notable pattern of plumbing-related problems emerged in 2025, with two separate plumbing violation reports filed in August alone, while other service requests have included sanitation code violations (May-June 2025) and a tree-related emergency (June 2025). The property also experienced recurring tree maintenance issues, as evidenced by both an emergency response and a trimming request in 2025. While the building has had 180 owner-related service requests in seven years, of which 13 were specific to the property, most have been resolved, with the exception of the recent 2025 violations.

Risk rating

How 1023 W Garfield Chicago'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
