Initial analysis

The property at 1429 N Laramie Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a three-parcel, multi-unit residential building constructed in 1918 and currently owned by Curtis Brookins. The building's documented service history over the past seven years shows a total of five 311 service requests specifically for this address, while the owner's other parcels accounted for an additional fifteen service requests during the same period, totaling twenty requests across three properties. The most recent activity, dating from August 2025, involved two calls to 311: one for informational purposes and another concerning tree debris clean-up, both of which were subsequently closed. Prior to these, there were three additional service requests in 2024, including an inspection of the public way in October and a pothole complaint in March, all of which were also resolved. It's worth noting that the relatively low volume of service requests (five for this specific address) over the seven-year period could be seen as indicative of general building maintenance levels, though the nature of these requests primarily relates to exterior issues rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1429 N Laramie Ave 1'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.
