Initial analysis

The property at 1620 S Morgan St is a 6-parcel building constructed in 1872, located in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood and currently owned by Manuel Garcia. Over the past seven years, the building has maintained relatively low service request activity, with only one request specifically related to the property on record during this period. This limited history suggests either effective property management or underreporting of issues. However, it's worth noting that the property owner's total record of 56 service requests across all parcels over the same seven-year period indicates significantly more activity outside this particular building's records. The most recent documented service request, dated July 20, 2024, pertains to a finance parking code enforcement review and has been marked as closed, though it is somewhat unusual for a parking code issue to be documented in the finance category. This is the only recorded service request for this specific address in the past seven years, representing about 1.8% of the owner's total service requests during this time frame.

Risk rating

How 1620 S Morgan 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

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.
