Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1649 W Jarvis Ave in Rogers Park, owned by Glen Timmerman, is a century-old property constructed in 1908. The building's recent maintenance records from 2025 to 2026 show a concentrated pattern of tree-related service requests, with five tree trim requests made in October 2025 and three more in April 2026, all of which have been successfully closed. These requests were part of a city program that's since been discontinued, as indicated by the "NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED" designation. Prior to these, there was one general information call to 311 in October 2025, though the specific nature of this inquiry was not detailed in the records. The building's total of 11 service requests over the past seven years shows limited issues requiring city intervention, with all tree-related concerns now resolved, suggesting proper attention to external maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 1649 W Jarvis 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

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.
