Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1120 W George Street in Lake View, owned by John A Morrissey, was constructed in 1990 and has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years. The property has only one building code violation on record from September 2022 related to permit inspection requirements, though this violation has been officially resolved. A noteworthy cluster of 311 service requests emerged in early 2026, with six separate incidents reported between January and April of that year, including three missed garbage pick-up complaints, two tree-related issues (emergency and trimming), and one rodent baiting complaint. The frequency of service requests in 2026 stands out compared to the building's overall record, though it should be noted that all reported issues were categorized as "Closed" by the city services, indicating they were addressed. Apart from the recent service requests, the building's historical record over the specified seven-year period shows minimal incidents, with no other significant violations or complaints on file.

Risk rating

How 1120 W George 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

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.
