Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1256 W Arthur Avenue in Rogers Park, constructed in 1915, is currently owned by Lakewood Arthur Partnership. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal service requests, with only two official 311 calls being recorded during this period. Both incidents occurred in December 2025, with one request related to ice and snow removal and the other concerning tree trimming - though it's worth noting the latter request type is no longer being accepted. Both service requests have been marked as closed, indicating they were addressed by the relevant authorities. Given the limited number of service requests on file, there appears to be relatively few documented issues affecting this property's infrastructure or resident services in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1256 W Arthur 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
