Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1231 N Bosworth Ave in West Town, owned by Jure Strbich, is a late 19th-century structure built in 1896 that has experienced several noteworthy events in recent years. Most concerning is the apparent rodent issue, with two separate rat complaints filed in mid-2024, though both were subsequently closed. The property has also faced infrastructure challenges in 2024, with two reports of alley potholes (May and November) that were addressed through the city's complaint system. Additional service requests include a missed garbage pick-up in August 2024 and a parking code enforcement review in February 2026.

Risk rating

How 1231 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.
