Unlock complete reportThe Chicago Housing Authority's 70-unit building at 1257 W Roosevelt, located in the Little Italy/UIC neighborhood, was constructed in 2024 and currently has a total of four parcels under its ownership. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced a relatively moderate level of service activity, with 38 service requests made through the 311 system, 27 building permits issued, and three building violations recorded. The most recent cluster of service requests occurred between July and February 2026, including two building violations in October and November 2025, a sewer cleaning inspection request in September 2025, and other requests for street cleaning and animal control services, all of which have since been resolved. While the building's overall record shows regular maintenance and service usage typical of a multi-unit residential property, the two recent building violations from late 2025 warrant attention as the most significant events on record, though it's important to note that all listed service requests have reached a closure status.

How 1257 W Roosevelt Chicago'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
Grade A–B — Low risk
City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.
Grade C — Moderate risk
Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
Grade D–F — High risk
Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
Out of 1135 buildings in this neighborhood, 1112 are predicted to be safer.
