Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1824 N Lotus Ave in the Austin neighborhood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Angel P Segovia, has experienced several notable events in recent years that warrant attention. Most significantly, in July 2024, the property faced environmental enforcement actions related to air pollution control and certificate of operation requirements, though these cases were ultimately dismissed (non-suit) with no fines imposed. Prior to this, the building has documented three business complaint incidents and one tree emergency in mid-2025, all of which were resolved, as well as a noise complaint in July 2024 that resulted in a founded violation. While the building's record shows relatively few service requests and environmental issues over the past seven years, the clustering of recent complaints and violations in 2024-2025 suggests a period of increased scrutiny regarding property operations and environmental compliance.

Risk rating

How 1824 N Lotus 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.
