Initial analysis

The property at 1417 W 17th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side is a 155-year-old building owned by Jose Marquez, with a relatively minimal record of building violations and service requests over the past seven years. The most concerning item on record is an unresolved building code violation dating back to December 2019, which warrants attention as the only documented violation during this period. The building has generated ten 311 service requests in total, with the most recent request filed in May 2026 regarding garbage cart maintenance and remaining open as of the latest data. The property has seen various maintenance and quality-of-life issues addressed through 311, including three tree trim requests (two of which were filed simultaneously in January 2026 and marked as no longer being accepted), a closed graffiti removal request from October 2025, a closed information-only call to 311 City Services from August 2025, and a closed e-scooter parking complaint from January 2025. While the age of the building and the number of service requests might seem significant, many of these concerns are routine municipal service matters rather than direct reflections on the building's condition or habitability.

Risk rating

How 1417 W 17Th St 1'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
19thpercentile
