Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 948 N Wolcott Ave, located in Chicago's East Village neighborhood and owned by Marie Ganley Liebich, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The property, constructed in 1993, currently has two unresolved building code violations dating back to 2019 and 2020, one of which was triggered by a permit-related inspection while the other was initiated by a complaint-driven inspection. In terms of service requests, two have been filed through the city's 311 system - a closed pothole complaint from July 2025 and a closed tree trim request from December 2024, though the latter was for a service type that is no longer being accepted. The building's permit activity shows only one permit request in the past seven years. While the unresolved nature of the building code violations is noteworthy, it's important to note that these records only represent data up to October 2023 and do not necessarily reflect the current status of the building or its systems.

Risk rating

How 948 N Wolcott 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

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
16thpercentile

Out of 583 buildings in this neighborhood, 490 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
