Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1145 N Massasoit Ave in the Austin neighborhood, owned by Gilbert Chavez, has a mixed record of building maintenance and community interactions since 2025. Most notably, there are two unresolved complaint-driven building code violations recorded in December 2025, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building's permit history shows only one building permit filed in the past seven years, and there were two 311 service requests during this period. One of the service requests, filed in November 2025, concerned unauthorized building permit and construction activities, though this issue was subsequently closed. The other service request, regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint made in March 2026, has also been closed, but it seems unrelated to the building's condition or habitability. With construction and building permit issues representing both violations and service requests, this property presents some concerns regarding compliance with building codes and regulations, though it's worth noting that these violations have persisted unresolved for nearly a year as of now.

Risk rating

How 1145 N Massasoit 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
59thpercentile
