Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1349 W Thorndale Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood is a century-old property constructed in 1912, currently owned by Paul Damian. The building's recent maintenance record shows minimal activity over the past seven years, with only two documented 311 service requests. The most recent request, logged on April 11, 2024, concerned a tree trimming matter, though it should be noted that such requests are no longer being accepted by the city. More significantly, an open service request from April 2, 2024, pertains to a water lead test kit, which indicates the owner is seeking to evaluate the property's water quality regarding potential lead contamination. While the building's documented service history is limited, the presence of an active water lead test kit request is notable in terms of public health considerations.

Risk rating

How 1349 W Thorndale 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.
