Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 1319 N Austin Blvd in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Lorene Nelson, has been standing since 1922. The property has accumulated seven building code violations over the past seven years, all of which are particularly concerning as they remain unresolved, dating from a cluster of complaint-driven inspections on February 24, 2020. These open violations represent the most significant current risk factors for residents, given their unresolved status. Additionally, there have been two 311 service requests in recent years: a building violation complaint in January 2026, which was subsequently closed, and a tree trim request from January 2025, though this type of request is no longer being accepted. While the tree issue appears to have been addressed and the more recent building violation complaint was processed, the persistence of the 2020 building code violations stands out as the most notable deficiency in the property's recent history.

Risk rating

How 1319 N Austin Blvd'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.
