Initial analysis

The property at 1240 W Jarvis in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood is a 20-unit residential building constructed in 1976 and currently owned by Viorel Stirbu. The building's regulatory record over the past seven years shows several notable concerns, with particular emphasis on recent unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded in August 2025. Additionally, there was a complaint-driven inspection violation initiated in April 2022 that remains unresolved. The building's service request history through the 311 system shows six documented incidents, primarily consisting of street-related issues such as potholes and abandoned vehicles, all of which were resolved relatively quickly with "Closed" status, except for two routine information calls in April 2025. While the frequency of street-related service requests is notable, the more concerning aspect of this building's record is the pattern of unresolved building code violations, particularly the most recent routine inspection issues which suggest ongoing compliance concerns.

Risk rating

How 1240 W Jarvis 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.
