Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 920 N Wolcott Ave 1F in Chicago's East Village, owned by Guillermo Garcia Jr., has been standing since 1889. The building's service request history over the past seven years, covering from 2017 to 2026, shows a total of 14 documented incidents, with the majority occurring in 2025-2026. The most recent concerns involve multiple street-related issues, with three pothole complaints recorded between March and April 2026. Additionally, there were two rat-related incidents in October 2025, suggesting potential ongoing pest control challenges in the vicinity. The building's service request activity appears to have increased in frequency over the past two years, particularly in 2025, including other miscellaneous concerns such as an injured animal report in September 2025. While all reported issues have been logged as "Closed," the pattern of service requests indicates some recurring infrastructure challenges in the immediate neighborhood, particularly related to street conditions.

Risk rating

How 920 N Wolcott Ave 1F'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
