Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1439 N Maplewood Ave in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, owned by Pasquale Guerra, has been standing since 2008 and has accumulated some concerning issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there are four unresolved building code violations that were documented on November 18, 2020, stemming from a complaint-driven inspection, indicating there may still be ongoing maintenance or safety concerns that require attention. The building has also generated a total of 18 service requests through the city's 311 system over this period, with the most recent activity occurring in May 2026, including two abandoned vehicle complaints. Other notable service requests include a sanitation code violation in April 2025, a rodent baiting complaint in November 2024, and an issue with the blue recycling cart in October 2024, all of which have been resolved according to city records. While there has been some municipal interaction regarding waste management and pest control, the most pressing concern remains the open building code violations from 2020, which are significantly out of character with the relatively routine nature of the other documented service requests.

Risk rating

How 1439 N Maplewood Ave'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
