Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1039 W Taylor Street in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood, currently owned by Rogstar Properties, is a historically significant structure dating back to 1868. The property's recent history shows minimal tenant-initiated service requests over the past seven years, with only three logged 311 service requests during this period. All three requests were made in early 2025, two of which were related to tree trimming matters (for which no longer being accepted notes were applicable), and one involving a finance and parking code enforcement review. Notably, the building's service request record shows no logged incidents between these tree-related requests in March 2025 and the parking code issue in November 2025, and there are currently no pending service requests on record. The very limited number of service requests over the past seven years could suggest either a well-maintained property or potentially indicate underreporting of issues, though this cannot be definitively determined from the available data alone.

Risk rating

How 1039 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.

Neighborhood percentile
90thpercentile

Out of 1139 buildings in this neighborhood, 114 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation
