Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 2051 W Garfield Blvd in the Englewood neighborhood, owned by 2043 W Garfield LLC, was constructed in 1967 and has a total of 2 parcels under the owner's name. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a relatively low number of service requests through the 311 system, with only 2 requests recorded for tree trimming in January 2026, though it's notable that tree trim requests are no longer being accepted as a service type. More concerning is the property's record of building violations during the same period, with a total of 13 violations recorded, suggesting some ongoing maintenance or compliance issues. While the 311 service requests may indicate some level of property maintenance activity, the relatively high number of building violations compared to service requests warrants attention to the building's overall compliance history.

Risk rating

How 2051 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

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
