1738 W Estes Chicago

Rogers Park, Chicago IL 60626 11312020090000 14 units · 1913

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 14-unit residential building at 1738 W Estes in Rogers Park, owned by the Artemios Valakas Trust, has a relatively limited record of service requests and interventions over the past seven years. Built in 1913, this property is over a century old and has been maintained through regular oversight by its current ownership. The building's service request history from 2025 shows four documented incidents, including two graffiti removal requests, one fly dumping complaint, and one tree trimming request, all of which have been closed. While the frequency of graffiti incidents is notable, particularly with two cases occurring within six months of 2025, it's worth mentioning that all service requests during this period have been promptly addressed. The larger ownership entity, which includes this property among two total parcels, shows a total of 32 service requests and one building permit, though specific details about these additional properties are not available in the current records. Additionally, there has been one environmental enforcement action recorded against the ownership group in the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 1738 W Estes 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
