Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1903 building at 1546 N Rockwell St in the Humboldt Park neighborhood is currently owned by Robert McDougold and has experienced a limited number of issues over the past seven years, as evidenced by the records. Most notably, there is an open building code violation from August 2019 resulting from a complaint-driven inspection, though no significant follow-up violations have been recorded since then. The property has generated a total of 14 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent activity clustering around May 2026, including requests for yard waste pick-up and rodent baiting services, both of which were resolved. A notable pattern can be observed in late 2025, when the property received multiple complaints regarding uncleared snow from the sidewalks in December, as well as a construction-related violation in March 2026. The building has also required garbage cart maintenance services as recently as September 2025. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a century-old building, the presence of an unresolved building code violation from 2019 stands out as the most significant current concern, with the most recent issues being primarily related to seasonal maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 1546 N Rockwell 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.
