Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1737 W School St in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood is a century-plus old property, constructed in 1898 and currently owned by Beverly & Tom Zurick. Over the past seven years, there have been six documented 311 service requests associated with the property. The most recent issues, all occurring in 2025, include complaints about uncleared sidewalks in December, two reports of abandoned vehicles (August and June), and two tree-related matters - an emergency situation in August, and a planting request initiated in April that remains open. Prior to these, there was a tree emergency in September 2024 that has since been resolved. The recurrence of tree-related issues, including both emergencies and a planting request, suggests ongoing arboreal maintenance challenges in the vicinity of the property. While all service requests have been resolved, with the exception of the April 2025 planting request, potential concerns for residents include the frequency of vehicle-related issues in the immediate area, as evidenced by two abandoned vehicle complaints within a two-month period in mid-2025.

Risk rating

How 1737 W School St'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.
