Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 144 S Francisco Ave in Garfield Park, owned by Tsvetanka Gueorguieva, has a significant history of building code violations and service requests over the past seven years. The most pressing issues are a series of unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in December 2024 and May 2024, totaling six open violations that warrant attention. The building's recent record shows 18 building violations and one 311 service request for the past seven years, though the owner has accumulated 26 total building violations and 32 service requests across four parcels in their ownership. The property, which dates back to 1888, has also had three building permits issued in the past seven years. Of particular note in 2024 was a closed tree planting request from June. While the age of the building and its violation history are important to consider, the current focus should be on the significant number of recent open violations that remain unresolved as of December 2024.

Risk rating

How 144 S Francisco 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.
