Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1048 N Parkside Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Juan J Guaman, has recently experienced multiple concerning issues in 2026. Most notably, five open complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded on June 5, 2026, suggesting ongoing compliance issues that may affect resident safety and comfort. Additionally, there were two service requests filed through the 311 system in May 2026, including one regarding a construction violation without proper building permits, which remains unresolved, and another building violation complaint that has since been closed. While the building has a history of some regulatory scrutiny over the past seven years, with a total of five building violations and two 311 service requests recorded during this period, the most pressing concerns appear to be the recent cluster of unresolved violations and service requests in 2026, which warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1048 N Parkside 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.
