Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1120 N LeClaire Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Andy Bobrowski, has been standing since 1922 and recently experienced a significant complaint-driven inspection in August 2023 that remains unresolved as of October 2023, representing the only building code violation on record in the past seven years. The property and its owner have generated considerable municipal interaction, with a total of 17 building violations recorded over seven years, though most appear to have been addressed given that only one remains open. The owner has submitted five building permits in this period, and there have been two 311 service requests specifically related to trees - a closed tree trimming request from February 2025 and a closed tree planting request from May 2024. The owner has significantly more municipal interactions compared to the building itself, with 169 service requests recorded under their name, though these encompass all properties owned by Bobrowski, rather than being limited to the LeClaire Ave address.

Risk rating

How 1120 N Leclaire 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
28thpercentile
