Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 713 N Waller Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Willie Nance, has experienced significant maintenance and compliance challenges since its construction in 1898. Over the past seven years, the property has accumulated 54 building violations, representing a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance, with the most recent violations recorded in May 2026 including both open and closed plumbing-related issues. This particular cluster of plumbing violations appears to be an ongoing concern, with multiple incidents recorded in 2026 alone. The building's documented history shows a total of four 311 service requests in the past seven years directly related to building issues, including one information-only call in April 2026. While the property owner holds five total parcels, only one building permit has been issued in the past seven years. The combination of numerous violations, multiple plumbing issues, and limited permit activity suggests significant property management challenges, though it's important to note that the most recent building violations (as of May 2026) are still under investigation or resolution.

Risk rating

How 713 N Waller 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.
