Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1317 W Roscoe St, located in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, is a four-story structure built in 1898 and currently owned by T & E Rhomberg. The property's record over recent years shows relatively few issues, with only one building violation documented in the past seven years—an unresolved complaint-driven inspection from January 2024 that merits attention due to its open status. The building has experienced five 311 service requests since 2018, with the most recent being a water lead test kit request from August 2025 that remains open. The other service requests have been successfully addressed and closed, including three environmental maintenance matters (yard waste pick-up, tree removal inspection, and weed removal) and a snow-related sidewalk complaint in early 2025. While the building's documented history includes an air pollution complaint from 2009, this incident is significantly dated compared to more recent conditions. The relatively low number of violations and service requests over this extended period, particularly since 2018, suggests that while there are some environmental and maintenance issues that need attention, they are sporadic and not necessarily indicative of systemic building problems.

Risk rating

How 1317 W Roscoe St 3F'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.
