Initial analysis

The property at 1119 W Taylor Street is a 4-unit residential building located in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood, near UIC, and is currently owned by Kazouini Jaouad. Built in 1891, this multi-family building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most concerning being four unresolved building code violations that were documented on August 13, 2019, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections. More recently, in May 2026, there were multiple incidents of water-related issues reported, specifically two complaints about water in the basement, though these incidents have since been closed. The property has also experienced some environmental maintenance needs, including two tree debris clean-up requests in June 2026 (one of which remains open), a blue recycling cart request in May 2025, and a closed graffiti removal request from February 2025. While some service requests have been addressed and closed, the presence of unresolved building violations from 2019 and recent water-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the property.

Risk rating

How 1119 W Taylor 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.
