Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 909 N LeClaire Ave in the Austin neighborhood, owned by Arturo Rodriguez, has a century-long history dating back to 1910. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced a relatively low volume of 311 service requests, with only one complaint filed in 2024 regarding fly dumping, though this appears to be more related to the neighborhood than the building itself. The property has accumulated four building violations during this period, though the specific nature and resolution status of these violations is not detailed in the available records. It's notable that the owner holds four total parcels, suggesting ownership of additional nearby land or properties, and that there have been a significant number of 311 service requests (32) associated with this owner account, though the majority of these are likely related to the other parcels based on the low complaint volume specifically about this building. The available data indicates that while the building has had some compliance issues requiring attention, recent years show no pattern of recurring service or safety concerns directly linked to the property structure itself.

Risk rating

How 909 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
