Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1314 W Granville Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood has a documented history of minor municipal service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 17 recorded incidents. The property, which was constructed in 1904 and is currently owned by Glen Barker, has experienced regular seasonal maintenance needs, particularly in 2025-2026, as evidenced by multiple yard waste pick-up requests (four in total) and one tree debris clean-up request, which remains open as of June 2026. The building's maintenance record also includes one incident of an e-scooter parking complaint in January 2026, though this issue has been resolved. While the volume of service requests might suggest ongoing maintenance needs, it's worth noting that the majority of these incidents pertain to routine waste management and not to structural or safety concerns, with no recorded complaints related to building systems, health hazards, or security issues.

Risk rating

How 1314 W Granville 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

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.
