Initial analysis

The 19-unit residential building at 1506 W Fargo in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, currently owned by 15W Fargo LLC, has documented its existence since 1924. Over the past seven years, the property has generated limited municipal interaction, with only one 311 service request, recorded in January 2026 for an abandoned vehicle complaint, which was subsequently closed. However, there is a notable pattern of environmental complaints, specifically regarding noise disturbances, with five incidents reported between 2021 and 2023. The earliest documented noise complaint occurred in November 2021 and was resolved within a week, followed by similar complaints in May 2022 (resolved the same day), September 2022 (where no violation was found), and October 2022 (resolved within two days). The most recent noise incident was effectively addressed on April 25, 2023. While the frequency of noise complaints is concerning, it's worth noting that all incidents were either resolved promptly or resulted in no substantiated violations, suggesting responsive management to resident concerns, though they may indicate ongoing noise-related issues within or around the building.

Risk rating

How 1506 W Fargo 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
24thpercentile
