Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1445 N Linder Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a 1922 structure currently owned by R. Watts. Over the past seven years, there has been minimal documented interaction with city services, with only one recorded 311 service request during this period. This single request, made in June 2024, was for tree trimming services, though it should be noted that such requests are no longer being accepted. The request was subsequently closed, marking the only recorded engagement with the city's 311 system for both the building and the owner during the specified timeframe. The limited number of service requests on record could suggest either minimal issues within the property or potential underreporting, though no definitive conclusions can be drawn from this data alone.

Risk rating

How 1445 N Linder 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

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.
