Initial analysis

The building at 1003 W 19th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side is a four-unit, three-story residential property built in 1905 and currently owned by Dolores M Becerra. The property has recorded an unusual cluster of maintenance and sanitation-related issues in recent years, with 19 overall service requests filed through the 311 system over the past seven years. Most notably, there appears to be an ongoing rodent control issue, with three rat complaints documented between March and May 2026, following similar complaints in May 2025 and a related work order for rodent control in March 2026. In addition to these pest-related concerns, there are currently two outstanding sanitation issues from May 2026 regarding maintenance of garbage and recycling carts. The building's maintenance history also includes a dead animal removal request in May 2026, which has been closed. Looking further back, the property had an air pollution complaint recorded in March 2011, though the resolution is not specified in the available data. The frequency and nature of the recent service requests, particularly those related to pest control and sanitation, suggest ongoing challenges with property maintenance and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 1003 W 19Th St 1Fl'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.
