Initial analysis

The 22-unit residential building at 300 N Menard in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Spartan Real Estate LLC, has experienced several noteworthy events over the past seven years, with the most significant being the unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded in both October 2024 and January 2026. These open building code violations, which span multiple instances, warrant attention as they indicate ongoing regulatory compliance issues. While the building itself has accumulated minimal direct violations (four in total), there has been a relatively high volume of city service requests associated with the address, totaling 21 in the past seven years. Most of these requests pertained to street maintenance issues, with five separate complaints about street lighting problems and one pothole complaint, all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was a pet wellness check request in January 2026 and a general information call to 311 in February 2026, both of which were closed without indicating any significant concerns about the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 300 N Menard Chicago'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.
