Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building located at 1629 W Farragut Ave in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood is a 120-year-old property currently owned by Raul and Rosy Murcio. The building's recent history includes a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, most notably a water-related problem in the basement reported in May 2024, which while closed, warrants attention given the potential impact on building habitability. The property has experienced multiple incidents of abandoned vehicle complaints in 2024, with three such reports (February, March, and October) filed through 311 services, though these are street-related issues rather than direct building concerns. Additionally, there was a dead animal removal request in July 2024, which was promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 1629 W Farragut 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

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.
