Initial analysis

The property at 1630 N McVicker Ave 1 is a two-unit residential building located in the Galewood neighborhood of Chicago, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Nancy Thoresdale. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively few issues, with only three 311 service requests recorded during this period. All three of these recent service requests, dating from 2025, are related to waste management, specifically a maintenance issue with a garbage cart and a blue recycling cart matter, both of which were handled and closed by city services. The third request, made in September 2025, was simply an information call and did not indicate any service requirement. Notably, there are no recorded service requests from this building prior to 2025, and no complaints or urgent service needs that would impact resident safety or comfort. The minimal number of service requests and their non-urgent nature suggest a relatively stable building condition, though the concentration of waste management issues in a single month might warrant noting for waste management personnel.

Risk rating

How 1630 N Mcvicker Ave 1'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.
