Initial analysis

The three-unit residence at 717 N Parkside Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Willie Thomas, is a newly constructed building that was completed in 2024. The property has generated minimal service requests and permits in recent years, with only two 311 service requests (both related to waste management) occurring in July 2024, which were promptly closed after reporting issues with the blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance. Although the building's recent history appears relatively clean with no significant violations or complaints since its construction, a review of older property records reveals two historic environmental incidents from the early 2000s—an asbestos-related complaint from February 2005 and a July 2001 illegal dumping incident—though these issues predate the current owner's tenure and the building's recent construction. The property has been assigned three total parcels under the current ownership, with no building permits or violations recorded in the past seven years, suggesting careful management of the property's maintenance and regulatory requirements since its 2024 construction.

Risk rating

How 717 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
66thpercentile

Out of 7223 buildings in this neighborhood, 2456 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
