Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1065 W Polk St in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood, owned by Anthony Raso Jr, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1888. The property's recent record (2017-2023) shows several concerning patterns, particularly in 2024-2026, with multiple open service requests and violations. Most notably, there are three open cases related to building permit and construction violations from 2024-2026, including a street light outage complaint and an unresolved permit-related inspection violation from mid-2026. The building's permit history shows minimal activity, with only two building permits issued in the past seven years. The property owner has had multiple municipal interactions, with 36 service requests recorded under their name, though not all are directly related to the building itself. Looking further back, the building had a documented air pollution complaint in 1997, and its current violation and service request count suggests some ongoing issues with compliance and maintenance that may affect resident experience.

Risk rating

How 1065 W Polk 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.
