Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 857 N Latrobe Ave in the Austin neighborhood, constructed in 1913 and currently owned by Houston, has displayed concerning patterns in its recent history, particularly in 2020 when multiple complaint-driven inspections were initiated, resulting in three unresolved building code violations that remain open as of the latest records. The property has generated a total of five 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2025, involving various maintenance issues including garbage cart maintenance, a vacant lot cleanup request, and two rodent-related complaints. While all these 311 requests were marked as closed, the recurring nature of the rodent complaints and the substantial gap between the last building permit issued (only one in seven years) and the three open violations from 2020 suggest potential ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that have not been adequately addressed.

Risk rating

How 857 N Latrobe 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.

Neighborhood percentile
