Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 937 N Long Ave in the Austin neighborhood, owned by Federal National Mortgage, has a documented history dating back to its 1910 construction. The property has experienced some concerning patterns in recent years, with a total of 9 building violations recorded in the past seven years, though one permit-related violation from June 2021 has been resolved. A particularly noteworthy cluster of issues emerged in December 2019, when five separate complaint-driven violations were recorded, all of which remain open and unresolved as of the latest data. The building's maintenance record shows 2 building permits issued in the past seven years, while the property owner has faced a total of 27 building violations across their ten parcels and has generated 68 service requests through the 311 system over the same period, along with 8 building permits across their properties. The significant number of open violations from 2019, coupled with the high total of building violations and service requests across the owner's portfolio, suggests potential ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, though it's important to note that not all service requests may be related to building code issues.

Risk rating

How 937 N Long 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

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.
