Initial analysis

The 22-unit apartment building at 1433 W Sherwin in Rogers Park, owned by Sherwin Howard Line, is a 1919 structure that has experienced several concerning trends in recent years. Most notably, there are currently four open unresolved building code violations from February 2023 and two from August 2022, all of which were generated through complaint-driven inspections. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of 16 building violations and 20 311 service requests, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance issues. While the building ownership has applied for three building permits during this period, only one was granted. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests for various issues, including three tree emergencies in April 2026, an abandoned vehicle complaint in April 2026, a water lead test kit request in September 2025, and a street light outage complaint in June 2025, all of which were subsequently closed. The clustering of recent building violations and the relatively high number of 311 service requests suggest potential challenges in property maintenance and resident safety, though it is important to note that not all service requests are directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1433 W Sherwin 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

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.
