Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 1059 N Rockwell St in the Ukrainian Village, owned by West Town Housing, was constructed in 1991 and has experienced several notable events over recent years. Most concerning is the building's documented history of rodent issues, with a rat complaint filed in May 2026, and during the last seven years, the property has accumulated five building violations and one environmental complaint. The owner has responded to 207 service requests during this period, with the most recent concerns in 2025-2026 primarily related to public space maintenance, including two snow-related complaints about uncleared sidewalks in November-December 2025. While the building's age and location typically would be expected to show some degree of property maintenance activity, it's worth noting that only one building permit has been issued in the past seven years and there is currently one open tree planting request from May 2025. The frequency of service requests and violations suggests ongoing attention to property maintenance may be required, though the majority of recent complaints relate to external rather than internal building issues.

Risk rating

How 1059 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.

Neighborhood percentile
