Initial analysis

The property at 1947 W Granville Ave is a 6-unit building located in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Alexandru Filimon. The building's recent history is marked by ongoing and unresolved issues, with multiple open violations stemming from periodic routine inspections in October 2023 and August 2022 that require attention. The property has accumulated a total of 38 building violations and 36 service requests over the past seven years under the current ownership. Recent concerns include an open construction violation from February 2026 and a water lead test kit request from January 2026, though there have been some resolved issues such as low water pressure and a tree emergency in 2025, as well as a leak investigation that was completed. An environmental noise complaint was filed in 2006, leading to two administrative hearings with $200 fines each for violations of noise regulations, though these cases were eventually closed.

Risk rating

How 1947 W Granville Ave Hse'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.
