AI summary

The six-unit residential building at 855 N Lawler Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by 855 N Lawler LLC, is a 1913 construction that has generated a total of 37 service requests to the city over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of activity occurred in early June 2026, with five service requests in a single week, all related to public way inspections, except for one abandoned vehicle complaint that was subsequently closed. Notably, three of the public way inspection requests remain open as of June 8, 2026. While the building's overall service request history shows multiple interactions with city services, the recent surge in inspection requests, particularly those that remain unresolved, may warrant attention to the conditions being examined. The pattern of service requests is particularly concentrated in 2026, with five requests within just two weeks in June.

Risk rating

How 855 N Lawler 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.
