AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 1414 N Lawler Ave in the Austin neighborhood was constructed in 1929 and is currently owned by Kathleen Collier. Over the past seven years, there have been three documented service requests through the city's 311 system, with all three incidents occurring within a relatively short time frame between February and June 2025. The records indicate that two of these incidents were related to tree emergencies, occurring in February and March 2025, which could suggest potential concerns regarding landscaping or tree maintenance in the vicinity of the property. Additionally, there was a service request in June 2025 regarding garbage cart maintenance. All three service requests have been officially closed, though the resolution details are not specified in the available data. It's noteworthy that the building has had no reported 311 service requests in the previous seven years prior to 2025, which may suggest that this cluster of recent incidents is either an unusual spike or perhaps indicative of a specific period of maintenance or environmental issues that have since been addressed.

Risk rating

How 1414 N Lawler Ave 4'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.
