Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 three-unit residential building at 1937 W Greenleaf Ave in Rogers Park, owned by Jay Woldenberg and dating back to 1882, has experienced several notable events over the past three decades. Most significantly, the property has faced recurring rodent issues, with two rat complaints documented in early 2024, though the most recent service requests suggest remediation efforts were initiated. In more recent months (October 2024 and September 2024), there have been multiple tree-related service requests, including two tree trim requests and one tree debris clean-up request, all of which have been closed. Looking further back, the building had an asbestos-related environmental complaint recorded in October 1997, which would have required proper remediation procedures to be followed at that time. The relatively low number of 311 service requests (only five in the past seven years) could be seen as indicative of either minimal issues or potentially underreported concerns, though the recent focus on rodent control and tree maintenance suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 1937 W Greenleaf 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.
