Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1940 N Lawndale Ave in Logan Square is a 130-year-old property, constructed in 1893, and currently owned by CTLTC 008002380717. The building's recent service history over the past two years (2024-2026) has shown some concerning patterns, most notably a rodent-related issue in March 2026 which, though marked as closed, indicates potential pest control challenges in the area. More recently, there are two open service requests from April and May 2026, concerning tree planting and garbage cart maintenance respectively, suggesting ongoing management of basic municipal services. An earlier service request from June 2024 regarding tree removal inspection was closed, though the outcome of that inspection is not specified in the available data. While the building has had relatively few service requests overall (four in the past seven years), the current status of multiple open requests for 2026 warrants attention, particularly as they relate to basic maintenance and environmental concerns in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 1940 N Lawndale Ave 2'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.
