Rogers Park, Chicago IL 60626 11312220200000 17 units · 1930

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 17-unit, 1930-built apartment building at 1666 W Farwell in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, currently owned by Marko Buljubasic, has experienced a concerning pattern of pest control issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related incidents, with five rat complaints recorded between September 2025 and April 2026, including three complaints in 2026 alone. The building has also faced other quality-of-life concerns, such as a closed nuisance animal complaint in April 2026 and a parking code enforcement review in January 2026. While all 311 service requests have been resolved, the frequency of rodent-related issues - with six such complaints in total over the past two years - suggests ongoing challenges with pest control and building maintenance. The property has had a total of 27 service requests recorded in the past seven years under its ownership, though the recent concentration of rodent complaints is particularly notable.

Risk rating

How 1666 W Farwell 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
