Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1707 W 66th Street 1E in Englewood, owned by Arnold T. Bowman, has had a concerning pattern of unresolved issues in recent years. Most notably, on March 24, 2026, multiple complaint-driven violations were recorded against the building, all of which remain open and unresolved as of the latest data. This cluster of violations in 2026 stands out as the most significant recent problem, with limited detail available about the specific nature of the violations. The building's history over the past seven years shows a total of 13 building violations, 33 service requests, and three building permits associated with the owner, though the majority of these records are from earlier years rather than the most recent period. Other service requests recorded in 2025 and 2026 include routine matters such as tree trimming, recycling cart requests, and stray animal complaints, none of which indicate serious building-related issues but do suggest some ongoing maintenance and neighborhood concerns. The significant number of recent violations in 2026, though, represents the most pressing current issue, given that they are officially documented violations of building code compliance.

Risk rating

How 1707 W 66Th St 1E'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
