Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1434 W Flournoy St in Little Italy/UIC, owned by Pilsen Rentals Series, is a 129-year-old property that has experienced significant regulatory activity over the past seven years. The building's record reveals persistent compliance challenges, with 33 building violations documented in the past seven years, including four unresolved complaint-driven inspections in April 2021 that currently appear as open violations. More recently, in July 2024, there were multiple plumbing and building violations that were addressed and closed within the same day. The property's permit history shows some activity, with three building permits issued in the past seven years, though 12 permits are recorded under the owner's total for all parcels, suggesting additional work across their holdings. Notably, there was an asbestos-related environmental complaint in February 2022 that was promptly resolved on the same day it was reported. While the building has a history of violations and service requests, the resolution of recent violations and permit-related inspections, including two resolved violations from September 2021, indicates some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, though the presence of multiple open violations from April 2021 remains a concern. The total violation and service request counts under the owner's name are significantly higher than the building-specific numbers, suggesting these figures represent multiple properties within the owner's portfolio, with 37 violations, 22 service requests, and 2 environmental complaints documented across all parcels.

Risk rating

How 1434 W Flournoy 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
2ndpercentile
