Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1909 Rogers Park building at 1719 W Touhy Ave, currently owned by Nancy Jean Pendergrass, has experienced several significant events over the past seven years, particularly in 2023. Most notably, there were four complaint-driven inspections in April 2023 that resulted in violations, though all were promptly resolved. Looking back, there was one unresolved complaint-driven violation from March 2021, which is an important safety consideration given its open status at the time. The building's service request history shows a cluster of tree-related complaints in early 2025, suggesting the property is situated near trees requiring maintenance, though these requests were no longer being accepted by the city. Other service requests include a nuisance animal complaint in May 2024 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in February 2026, both of which were resolved. The building's permit history shows four permits filed over the seven-year period, though specific details of these permits are not provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1719 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

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.
