1637 W Jarvis Chicago

Rogers Park, Chicago IL 60626 11304140120000 10 units · 1967

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 10-unit building at 1637 W Jarvis in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, constructed in 1967, is currently managed by Better Property Management. The property has generated a total of 11 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, though notably, only five of these requests have been documented in recent years (2024-2026). The most pressing current concern is a water lead test kit request submitted in June 2026 that remains open, which could indicate potential water quality issues warranting monitoring. The building has seen periodic attention to waste management, with two yard waste pick-up requests recorded and successfully closed in 2025, suggesting reasonable maintenance of exterior waste management. Other completed service requests include a tree emergency in September 2024 that was addressed by the Streets and Sanitation department, and two cab feedback requests (one of which is still open) from January 2026, though the relevance of the latter to building conditions is unclear. While the overall number of service requests is relatively low for a decade-old building, the presence of an open water lead test kit request should be noted as a potential concern for residents.

Risk rating

How 1637 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.

Neighborhood percentile
49thpercentile

Out of 1541 buildings in this neighborhood, 786 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
