Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. 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

This two-unit residential building at 1528 W Farwell Ave in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Jason Gill Bloyer, has experienced a notable cluster of maintenance and environmental issues in 2026, particularly in the spring months. The property has recorded two rodent-related incidents in April and May 2026, one instance of graffiti that was subsequently removed, and at least one street cleaning request, all of which were resolved through municipal services. More recently, in June 2026, there have been requests for yard waste pick-up and tree debris cleanup, though the latter remains open at the time of this report. The building's overall service request history is relatively active for its type and size, with 48 documented service requests over the past seven years, though this figure includes routine municipal services. Notably, only one building permit has been issued during this period, suggesting limited structural modifications or improvements to the property. While the building has had its share of service requests, particularly in 2026, the nature of these requests predominantly relates to external maintenance and environmental issues rather than internal building systems or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1528 W Farwell 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.

Neighborhood percentile
