Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 7120 W Higgins Ave in Norwood Park, owned by Piculez Construction C, was constructed in 1967 and has experienced several significant events over its history. Most recently, in early 2026, there have been two open service requests regarding sign repairs, with these matters currently pending resolution. From an environmental compliance perspective, the building has a documented history of air pollution-related incidents, with complaints registered in both 1995 and 2011. More seriously, in November 2013, the property faced administrative violations related to process equipment operation instructions, resulting in a default judgment with a fine of $5,000, though records also indicate a negative fine amount of $-5,000. An additional administrative hearing in October 2000 resulted in a code violation (11-4-240), but without any associated fine. The building's 311 service request history is relatively minimal, showing only two recorded instances in the past seven years, both of which are recent sign-related issues.

Risk rating

How 7120 W Higgins 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.
