Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1027 N Marshfield Ave in Chicago's East Village neighborhood, owned by Allen S Needlman, has been standing since 1890. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 20 service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most concerning recent pattern being a series of graffiti incidents throughout 2025-2026. During this period, the building required multiple graffiti removal interventions between November 2025 and May 2026. In addition to these aesthetic issues, there have been two notable tree-related incidents in late 2025, including an emergency situation and subsequent debris clean-up request. Looking further back, the building had a construction and demolition-related environmental complaint in 2020 which was resolved by April of that year. The property's most recent service requests, as of May 2026, have included a rodent baiting complaint, indicating potential ongoing pest control challenges. While the building has maintained required responses to these various issues, the frequency and nature of the recent service requests suggest attention to exterior maintenance and pest management could be beneficial.

Risk rating

How 1027 N Marshfield 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.
