How 1621 W Marquette Rd 2's risk score is calculated

What the score means for you

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
