Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1734 W Division Street in Wicker Park, owned by Chester Grzybek, is a 1904 structure with a relatively minimal record of building regulations and resident complaints over the past seven years. The building has one documented building code violation from June 2020 related to permit inspections that remains unresolved as of October 2023. The property has generated two 311 service requests in this period, both of which were resolved: a pothole complaint from January 2026 and a graffiti removal request from April 2024. While the owner, Chester Grzybek, maintains two parcels associated with the property, the building's overall violation and service request records are modest, showing eight total violations and twelve service requests across both parcels, though it's worth noting that most of these are likely historical as they occur throughout the seven-year monitoring period. The only building permit recorded in the system was from 2020.

Risk rating

How 1734 W Division St'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
9thpercentile
