Initial analysis

The three-story multifamily building at 1422 W Garfield in Chicago's New City neighborhood is an 18-unit structure built in 1924, currently owned by Marquette BK TR 19816. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly in 2022 when three complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded on March 5, 2022, all of which remain open and unresolved. More recently, there has been a notable spike in service requests to 311 City Services, with six recorded incidents between February and November 2025, though these are primarily related to non-critical issues such as graffiti removal, injured animals, and a street light complaint. One of these requests pertained to a plumbing violation in February 2025, which was subsequently closed.

Risk rating

How 1422 W Garfield Chicago'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.
