Initial analysis

The 24-unit residential building at 2801 W Lawrence in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Manor Square LLC, was constructed in 1923 and has had 17 documented 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent activity, as of mid-2026, shows ongoing concerns with signage, with two open repair requests in late May 2026. The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, evidenced by two removal requests in 2025 and 2026, though both were successfully resolved. The building has also required attention to infrastructure maintenance, including one closed leak investigation in January 2026. A weather-related service request for an uncleared sidewalk from December 2025 was addressed and closed. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over this period, it's worth noting that all but two of the most recent service requests have been resolved, though the open sign repair requests suggest ongoing attention may be needed in this area.

Risk rating

How 2801 W Lawrence Chicago'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.
