Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 911 W Lawrence Ave, owned by Donna Forsberg, is a 110-year-old property located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. The building's record over the past seven years shows several areas of concern, particularly in recent months. Most notably, there are three unresolved building code violations as of August 2022, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections. The property has generated multiple 311 service requests, with the most recent activity focused on water quality concerns, including two open water lead test kit requests in February 2025 and March 2024, suggesting potential water safety issues that require monitoring. The building has also experienced minor maintenance needs, as evidenced by a closed sign repair request in May 2024 and a tree trimming request in August 2024, though the latter is no longer being accepted.

Risk rating

How 911 W Lawrence Ave 3E'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.
