Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 11514 S Wentworth Ave in Morgan Park, owned by Bowler McGann Corp and constructed in 1957, has experienced several significant issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there are multiple unresolved building code violations from periodic routine inspections conducted in July and December 2019-2020, indicating ongoing compliance concerns. More recently, in October 2022, the property faced environmental enforcement actions related to construction site cleanliness, resulting in three separate fines totaling $1,850, though these violations have since been marked as closed. The most current issue on record is an open sidewalk inspection request filed in April 2026, suggesting continuing attention needed to the property's exterior conditions. The building's record shows relatively few total incidents over the past seven years, with eight building violations, one 311 service request, and one building permit recorded. However, the persistence of unresolved periodic inspection violations and the recent sidewalk inspection request are noteworthy concerns regarding the property's maintenance and compliance history.

Risk rating

How 11514 S Wentworth Ave'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
18thpercentile
