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 four-unit residential building at 1062 W Columbia Ave in Rogers Park, currently owned by 2 UPSKI LLC, is a 1913 structure that has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, there appears to be an ongoing pattern of building permit and construction-related issues, with two violations reported in April 2026 (one still showing as open), and a total of 10 building violations on record over the past seven years. The property has generated substantial 311 service activity, with 28 requests filed by the owner, including a recent cluster of finance parking code enforcement reviews in 2026, particularly in April and June. While the building's permit activity shows only three permits pulled in the past seven years, it's worth noting that one of the most recent service requests in May 2026 regarding building permit violations remains unresolved. The mixed nature of service requests, ranging from sewer cleaning inspections to finance-related matters, suggests a variety of maintenance and regulatory interactions with city services, though the concentration of recent construction-related violations and open cases might be of particular interest.

Risk rating

How 1062 W Columbia 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.
