Near South Side, Chicago IL 60605 17221040010000 6 units · 1937

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1301 S Wabash Ave in the Near South Side, owned by Georg Bosek, has been in operation since 1937. The property has experienced a notable increase in service requests in recent months, with three building violations reported in June 2026 alone, including one that remains open as of early June. This recent spate of building-related issues marks a significant concentration of problems compared to the previous seven years, during which the building averaged approximately six service requests per year. Additionally, the property has had various other maintenance and service needs addressed, including a restaurant complaint, graffiti removal, an alley pothole issue, and a street light outage, all of which were resolved by May 2026. While most of these service requests have been closed promptly, the presence of multiple recent building violations, particularly with at least one remaining open as of June 2026, warrants attention to the building's current maintenance and management practices.

Risk rating

How 1301 S Wabash Ave'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
77thpercentile

Out of 57 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
