Austin, Chicago IL 60651 16043200190000 6 units · 1910

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 1910 vintage building at 903 N Long Ave in the Austin neighborhood, currently owned by VANDI LLC, has a documented history spanning several years that warrants attention. The property has experienced a concerning number of building violations over the past seven years, totaling 22, though exact nature of these violations isn't specified in the records. Recent months (2024-2025) have seen multiple 311 service requests, including three significant infrastructure-related issues: a lead inspection request in February 2025, a sewer cleaning inspection request in March 2025, and a water on street complaint in May 2025. These incidents suggest ongoing maintenance and safety monitoring requirements for the building. Additionally, there are two reports of injured animals in late 2024 (November-December), which, while not directly related to building conditions, could indicate neighborhood safety considerations. Looking at the broader permit history, there have been two building permits issued in the past seven years, and the property has recorded 5 total 311 service requests during this period, though many of these were not directly related to the building itself (e.g., animal reports, sewer issues). An environmental complaint was filed in August 2007, though details are not provided in the record.

Risk rating

How 903 N Long 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
23rdpercentile
