Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1717 N Mason Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a 1923 construction currently owned by Jerrilena Christian. Over the past seven years, the property has recorded four 311 service requests and has had one building permit filed under the current ownership. The most recent service requests, all from August 2025, include a no water complaint, a garbage cart maintenance issue, and a pothole complaint in the street, with another garbage cart maintenance request filed in May 2025. All these service requests have been closed, though the nature of the "No Water" complaint and its resolution might be of particular note regarding resident water service continuity. While the frequency of garbage cart maintenance requests suggests some ongoing challenges with waste management in the area, it's worth noting that all recorded service requests have been addressed through the appropriate channels. The building's permit history for the past seven years shows only one permit filed during this period, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1717 N Mason 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

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.
