Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7526 N Winchester Ave in the Rogers Park neighborhood is a century-old structure, having been built in 1913 and currently owned by L. Gonzales. The property's record over the past seven years shows some concerning patterns, most notably three open building code violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections conducted on April 6, 2022, which remain unresolved as of this report's date in October 2023. While the building has had minimal service requests through the 311 system, there was one documented incident of an uncleared snow sidewalk in January 2025, though this request has been marked as closed. Given the age of the building and the limited history of service requests and violations, the property has maintained relative stability, though the presence of multiple unresolved building code violations from 2022 warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 7526 N Winchester Ave'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
