Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 710 N Central Ave in Austin, built in 1908 and owned by Robin Mills, has a relatively limited but notable history over the past seven years. The most significant unresolved issue is a building code violation from November 2019 that was prompted by a complaint-driven inspection. While this violation remains open, it's worth noting that the building's total violations count is relatively low, with only one other code violation recorded in the past seven years. The property has generated seven 311 service requests during this period, all of which have been closed. These requests cover a variety of issues, including two related to waste management (a sanitation code violation in August 2024 and yard waste pick-up in October 2024), and several other matters such as tree debris clean-up (October 2024), an injured animal report (January 2025), and two complaints (both from January 2026) regarding a vacant/abandoned building and construction work without proper permits. While the total number of violations and service requests is relatively modest, the open building code violation from 2019 stands out as the most significant ongoing concern in the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 710 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
