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

The 12-unit residential building at 1304 W Albion in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, owned by Bil Mar Management, has been standing since 1922 and has experienced relatively few documented issues over recent years. The building's record for the past seven years shows minimal violations, with only one documented building violation and one house share prohibition violation. While there have been 36 total 311 service requests associated with the owner during this period, most of these appear to be routine maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of reports in 2024-2025 relating primarily to graffiti removal (five separate incidents between October 2024 and May 2025) and one water lead test kit request in October 2024. A single complaint about an open fire hydrant was recorded and closed in March 2025. The relative scarcity of serious violations or service requests over this extended period suggests stable management, though the recurring nature of graffiti removal requests may indicate ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1304 W Albion 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.
