Initial analysis

The 3033 N Sawyer Ave property, located in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, is a two-unit building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by A Aponte and F Acevedo. The building's recent history shows minimal service requests through the 311 system, with only one recorded incident in the past seven years, which was notably in February 2025 when a water lead test kit was requested. As of the current date, this request remains open. While the building's record shows very few service calls overall, the nature of the most recent request regarding water testing suggests an attention to water quality monitoring, though it's important to note that this was initiated voluntarily rather than being prompted by a detected issue. The property's ownership structure shows a single parcel under these owners' names, maintaining consistency with Chicago's property records.

Risk rating

How 3033 N Sawyer Ave 1St'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.
