Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 503 W 65th Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Nitzan Knafo, was constructed in 2004 and has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. The property has generated 91 service requests from the owner during this period, with the most recent three occurring in mid-2024, all related to exterior maintenance matters including garbage cart maintenance, tree removal, and weed removal. The building has recorded six violations, though specific details of these infractions are not provided in the available data. The property has also required three building permits and experienced one environmental complaint during this timeframe, while the owner controls a total of 14 parcels in the area. While the building's relatively young age (constructed in 2004) suggests it should be in good structural condition, the documented service requests indicate ongoing attention to maintenance of the property's exterior and surrounding environment.

Risk rating

How 503 W 65Th St'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.
