Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 1235 N Lockwood in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by KANTERCOOPER LLC 1, has undergone various challenges in recent years since its 1925 construction. The property currently has four open complaint-driven building code violations as of October 2025, which marks the most significant ongoing concern, potentially impacting resident safety and comfort. Over the past seven years, there have been multiple concerns regarding rodent activity, with four documented rodent baiting/rat complaints between 2025 and 2026, all of which were resolved through the 311 service system. Additional service requests include two building violation complaints and one alley pothole issue, all of which were closed. The building's record shows minimal permitted work in the past seven years, with only one building permit filed, suggesting limited recent improvements or modifications to the property. While the property has experienced various maintenance and pest control issues, it's worth noting that most historical service requests have been resolved through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 1235 N Lockwood Chicago'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.
