Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1157 W Farwell Ave in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, owned by ARPO Properties LLC, has experienced a notable cluster of pest control issues in early 2026, with seven documented rodent-related complaints between February 17 and June 4. The building's maintenance record also shows attention to infrastructure concerns, with a sewer cave-in inspection request filed and subsequently closed in March 2026. While all 311 service requests in the past seven years have been resolved, the recent spike in rodent-related service requests suggests a current pest management challenge. The three-story, 1913 construction has maintained consistent ownership under ARPO Properties LLC, with a total of 24 service requests recorded over this period, though the majority of recent complaints have been related to pest control rather than structural or maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 1157 W Farwell Ave 3Rd'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
