Initial analysis

The property at 1619 W Granville Ave 1W is a six-unit building located in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Jiro Sakamoto. Built in 1920, this building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only one building permit and a single 311 service request recorded. The 311 service request, made on April 14, 2026, concerned an abandoned vehicle complaint and has since been closed. Given the limited number of service requests and permits on record, the building's documented history suggests relatively stable conditions, though it's worth noting that the time frame of the building's records appears to extend beyond the typical seven-year parameter, with the complaint recorded in 2026. However, as a recent service request for this property related to an abandoned vehicle, it may have been an external issue not directly affecting the building's residents or infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1619 W Granville Ave 1W'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.
