Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1434 W Bryn Mawr Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Sima Esses Trustee The, has a documented history dating back to its 1905 construction. Over the past seven years, there has been minimal recorded regulatory impact on the property, with only one building code violation noted in August 2019 relating to permit-related inspection matters, though this violation has been resolved. The building has experienced a series of maintenance and public health-related service requests in recent years, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring between 2024-2025. This period saw multiple garbage cart maintenance requests (three in 2025), two rodent-related complaints (one in June 2025 and one in August 2024), and a water lead test kit request that remains open as of June 2025. Additionally, there was one street-related service request regarding a pothole, which was closed. While the building's violation record is relatively clean, the recent pattern of service requests suggests ongoing challenges with waste management and pest control in the surrounding area, along with potential water quality concerns that merit attention.

Risk rating

How 1434 W Bryn Mawr Ave 1's risk score is calculated
