Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1926-built residential property at 1801 N Lotus Ave in the Austin neighborhood, currently owned by Hispanic Housing Development Corporation, has experienced several noteworthy issues over the past seven years. The building has accumulated a significant number of building violations during this period, totaling 47, which warrants attention. There have been 14 service requests specific to the building through the city's 311 system, with one environmental complaint recorded. The property appears to be experiencing recurring issues with signage, as evidenced by multiple sign repair requests made between October 2025 and May 2026, with four of these requests remaining open as of the latest available data. The building's recent maintenance record shows minimal permitting activity, with only five building permits issued in the past seven years, suggesting limited authorized improvements or modifications to the structure. The relatively high number of total service requests (117) associated with the owner across all properties indicates potential challenges in property management consistency or responsiveness, though it's important to note that not all service requests may directly relate to building conditions or resident safety.

Risk rating

How 1801 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.
