Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1304 W Thorndale Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood is owned by J Shroba and D Morris. Built in 1920, this property has undergone minimal documented changes in recent years, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years. The building's service request history from 2016 to 2023 shows a total of 13 documented interactions with the 311 system, with the majority (10 out of 13) being yard waste pick-up requests, mainly concentrated between February and May 2026. The recent service requests suggest regular waste management needs being met, with particular attention to yard waste collection. Two blue recycling cart requests were made and subsequently closed in August and September 2025, indicating attention to recycling compliance. The only non-waste-related complaint in this period was an e-scooter parking complaint filed in February 2026. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building, the predominant nature of these requests being waste management-related suggests this has been the primary resident concern in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1304 W Thorndale 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.
