Initial analysis

The 38-unit residential building at 1712 W Estes in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, owned by BASS R3 GIMEL 1712, was constructed in 1928 and has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. The most concerning outstanding matter is an unresolved building code violation from July 2021 associated with a periodic routine inspection. The property has generated 13 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent being an abandoned vehicle complaint from March 2026. While most of these requests have been resolved, a significant cluster of recent service requests between February and December 2025 focused on infrastructure and pest control issues, including multiple rodent baiting complaints and three street/alley light outages. These maintenance and safety concerns, particularly the open building code violation and frequency of rodent-related incidents, suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep and resident comfort, though most previous 311 matters have been addressed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 1712 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.
