Initial analysis

The building at 1723 N Lotus Ave 1, located in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, is a two-unit residential property dating back to 1924 and currently owned by Richard & Bev Taylor. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of four 311 service requests, with the most recent two occurring on December 26, 2025, relating to issues with blue recycling and garbage carts. Prior to these cart-related concerns, there was a leak inspection request in July 2024, and another garbage cart maintenance issue reported in May 2024; all these service requests have been marked as closed. The building's permit activity over the same seven-year period shows only one permit request on record, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the provided data. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building of this age, the clustered timing of multiple garbage-related issues in late 2025 suggests potential challenges with waste management infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1723 N Lotus Ave 1'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.
