Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1542 W Jonquil Terrace in Rogers Park, owned by Nathan Ben Myers, has experienced several notable events over the past few years that may affect resident quality of life. Most recently, there are multiple active and unresolved issues from early 2026, including an open rodent baiting complaint, an active building violation from February 2026, and a reported building violation from February 2026 that has since been closed. The property also faced water issues in February 2026, though this particular complaint was resolved. Looking back further, the building has had consistent interaction with city services, with a total of 22 service requests logged over the past seven years. Of particular concern is a building code violation from September 2020 that remains open and unresolved. While the property's service request history includes various types of reports, such as an abandoned vehicle complaint and an injured animal report in 2026, the concentration of building-related issues in recent months suggests ongoing maintenance and structural challenges. The only recorded environmental complaint dates back to February 2008, regarding air pollution, though this appears to be an isolated incident from more than 15 years ago.

Risk rating

How 1542 W Jonquil Ter'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
