Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1703 W Carmen Ave in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Farrid Nobahar, was constructed in 1908 and has a relatively limited history of recorded incidents over the past seven years. The most significant recent issues have been water-related, with two street water complaints filed in July 2025, one of which was reported just six days prior to a sewer cleaning inspection request. These water-related concerns appear to have been effectively addressed, as all four 311 service requests from the past seven years have been closed. The building has experienced two permit-related inspection violations in October 2020, with one remaining unresolved as of the last record update. This is notably the only open violation on record for the property, though its impact is somewhat mitigated by the resolution of its counterpart inspection violation from the same month. Given the age of the building, the recorded issues seem relatively typical for structures of this vintage, though the cluster of water-related incidents in mid-2025 and the outstanding permit inspection violation warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1703 W Carmen Ave 1'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.

Neighborhood percentile
