Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 1837 W Garfield Blvd in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by NJ CAPITAL LLC, has been experiencing significant infrastructure challenges, particularly related to water management, as evidenced by recent service requests from 2026. The building, constructed in 1925, has generated a total of 11 service requests over the past seven years, with a notable cluster of water-related issues occurring in April and May 2026. During this recent period, there were five documented complaints about water on the street, three of which have been resolved, while an alley pothole complaint from April 2026 remains open. Additionally, there was an alley sewer inspection request submitted in April 2026 that has since been closed. The concentration of water-related issues in the spring of 2026 suggests ongoing challenges with the property's drainage infrastructure, though it's worth noting that the building's overall service request history across the past seven years has been relatively modest, with this recent surge representing a significant proportion of the total requests on record.

Risk rating

How 1837 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.
