Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1316 N Central Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Ayala Properties LLC, has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most notably, there are currently six open, unresolved building code violations as of August 2024, all of which were triggered by complaint-driven inspections. These violations represent the only currently active building code issues on record for the property. The building has also generated a substantial number of service requests to city authorities, totaling 22 under the owner's name over the past seven years. While there have been multiple maintenance and service-related issues reported through the 311 system, it's important to note that all these requests relate to street potholes (six requests in total) during April 2025, rather than directly reflecting on the building's condition or management. The age of the building (constructed in 1923) combined with the number of recent complaints suggests that there may be ongoing maintenance or compliance challenges, though specific details about the nature of the violations or service requests are not provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1316 N Central 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.
