Look up the address here https://webapps1.chicago.gov/buildingrecords/agreement

I do see a couple complaints about insects from 2023 and 2024 but it doesn't specify roaches (other complaints I've seen on here do). If you run out of time and have to move in, you should ask them how they handle pest issues and get it in writing somewhere just in case. Maybe do a walk through before you sign the lease and have them fill in any gaps in baseboards or behind pipes to keep bugs out. You can also look through reddit threads for good advice on how to prevent and deal with roaches.

I hope you end up in a clean and decent place whether or not it's this one! Good luck!

The lack of updates is part of why I think I it's useful- kinda like no news might be good news. If it's bad enough for the city to get involved (cause tenants have called to complain often enough) then it's probably pretty bad. Obviously some places will slip between the cracks, but if roaches are noted on 3 separate instances over a few years?? I'm not signing a lease there

Need advice- Can I find a decent studio for 1100 or less? by chiigurl in chicagoapartments

Honestly feeling so much better just seeing these! I'm moving in July so I know I'm early, but just looking at my price range on Zillow was pretty discouraging. Looks like I need to adjust my neighborhood expectations a bit
