Initial analysis

The property at 1720 W 44th Street in Chicago's New City neighborhood is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1913 and currently owned by Jose Luis Jimenez. Over the past seven years, there have been nine documented 311 service requests associated with this address, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring between May and October 2025. During this period, six separate rodent-related complaints were filed, all of which were resolved, though the frequency of these pest-related issues suggests a potentially persistent vermin problem during that timeframe. In addition to the rodent complaints, there were also two other incidents recorded: an abandoned vehicle complaint in October 2025 and one more rodent complaint in March 2026, both of which were closed. While all reported issues have been officially resolved, the concentration of pest-related complaints in 2025 warrants attention, though it's worth noting that there have been no reported incidents in the subsequent years up to October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1720 W 44Th 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.
