Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1829 W Touhy Ave in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, owned by Shawn Recinto, is a 1905 structure that has generated several service requests over the past seven years, though only one building permit has been recorded during this period. The property has experienced a notable pattern of water-related issues, with three street water complaints filed in 2026 and one in 2025, suggesting ongoing concerns with local water management. Additionally, there have been two other infrastructure-related complaints, including a street light outage in November 2024 and a tree trimming request in December 2024 (though this request type is no longer being accepted). The building's service requests also include a yard waste pick-up request in May 2025, indicating some level of resident engagement with city services. The relatively low number of building permits (only one in this period) and service requests for a two-unit building over seven years might suggest limited recent renovations or modifications to the property, though this cannot be definitively concluded from the available data.

Risk rating

How 1829 W Touhy 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.
