Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1929 N Sayre Ave in the Galewood neighborhood, owned by Elaine Preston, is a 1937 construction that has generated several municipal service requests over the past seven years. The building's maintenance record reveals a notable pattern of sidewalk-related concerns, with three open requests for sidewalk inspections in 2024-2026 (most recently filed in March 2026) and one additional sidewalk inspection request from 2025 also marked as open. In addition to the sidewalk issues, there is an open complaint regarding an abandoned vehicle from May 2026, though this is not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance. The property has had at least one closed service request regarding garbage cart maintenance from November 2025.

Risk rating

How 1929 N Sayre 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.
