Initial analysis

836 N Parkside Ave is a newly constructed 2-unit residential building located in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, completed in 2023 and owned by Jerry Jones. The building's relatively short history, spanning from its construction to the present, shows a manageable number of service requests and permits. Over the past seven years, there have been 12 service requests associated with the owner, though only six of these are directly linked to the building since its completion. Recent activities in 2024-2026 have included two rounds of water lead testing in October 2024, two street light outage complaints in April and May 2024, and a blue recycling cart request in June 2026. The only historical environmental complaint on record (from 2006) was regarding air pollution, though this predates the building's existence. The property has required two building permits during this period, consistent with typical new construction requirements. The service request pattern suggests regular municipal service interactions but no immediate safety concerns, with all reported issues having been resolved except for the most recent recycling cart request.

Risk rating

How 836 N Parkside 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
