Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1246 N Bosworth Ave is an 1890 vintage structure located in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, currently owned by 1246 Bosworth LLC. The building's record over the past seven years shows relatively few maintenance issues, with a total of five documented 311 service requests. Of particular note are two recent tree planting requests in 2026 (one in June and one in April), both of which remain open as of the current date. The property has experienced some water-related concerns, with two leak investigations requested and subsequently closed in early 2026 (February) and late 2025 (December). The only other recorded service request during this period was for ice and snow removal in late 2025 (November), which was also closed. While the building's maintenance record shows minimal service requests overall, the open status of multiple tree planting requests in 2026 suggests ongoing beautification efforts in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1246 N Bosworth 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
