Initial analysis

The building's recent maintenance record from 2026 shows several service requests, with the most notable being an open porch inspection request from May 2026, which could indicate potential safety or maintenance concerns with the building's exterior structure. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage cart maintenance in early 2026, with three documented service requests in March, two in February, and one in April, all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was a cable TV complaint in May 2026 which has since been closed. The total number of service requests on record for this property over the past seven years stands at seven, with the majority of recent activity focusing on waste management infrastructure and one notable open request regarding porch condition that warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 1236 N Marion Ct'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
87thpercentile
