Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1045 W Garfield Blvd in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Nancy Williams, has been standing since 1900. The property's service request record over the past seven years shows a relatively low volume of issues, with a total of 17 documented incidents. The most recent activity in 2026 has been predominantly focused on recycling pickup services, with three requests made in May 2026 alone, two of which have been successfully completed while one remains pending. Prior to this cluster of recycling requests, there was one information-only call to 311 services in March 2026 and a recycling request in February 2026, all of which were resolved. While the building's age is notable, the service request history suggests regular municipal service interactions rather than urgent maintenance issues or resident complaints. The recurring nature of the recycling requests could indicate the building's active participation in the city's waste management program, though it represents the primary focus of the building's recorded service interactions in recent months.

Risk rating

How 1045 W Garfield Blvd'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.
