Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1109 N Leclaire Ave in the Austin neighborhood, owned by Clara Walton, was constructed in 1925 and has had a relatively modest record of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of seven 311 calls. The most recent activity, as of March 2026, was an information-only call to city services, while the prior months in 2025 saw a combination of maintenance and public service requests including a snow object/dibs removal request in December, garbage cart maintenance in June, a fly dumping complaint in June, and two tree trimming requests in March. While the building's service request record shows regular engagement with city services, none of the reported issues appear to indicate any significant safety concerns or major resident experience impacts, with most requests relating to standard urban living maintenance needs such as snow removal and garbage management.

Risk rating

How 1109 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

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.
