Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1650 N Parkside Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Lula Sanders, has a documented history dating back to its 1915 construction. Over the past seven years, the property has maintained a relatively low number of formal complaints, with only one building violation recorded, though it's noteworthy that this violation remains open and unresolved as of March 2021. The property has generated a total of twelve 311 service requests in recent years, with the most recent activity occurring in June 2026, including requests for yard waste pick-up and multiple tree debris clean-up issues, two of which remain open. Other service requests from 2026 include street cleaning and sewer cleaning inspection matters, both of which have been closed, as well as an abandoned vehicle complaint that was resolved earlier in the year. While the volume of service requests suggests some ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges in the immediate vicinity, particularly regarding tree-related issues, the relatively low number of building violations and permits indicates stable building management within this historical two-unit structure.

Risk rating

How 1650 N Parkside 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.

Neighborhood percentile
