133 N Menard Chicago

Austin, Chicago IL 60644 16084150090000 12 units · 1963

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 133 N Menard in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Keith Katsis, has been standing since 1963. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 11 service requests logged through the city's 311 system, with the most recent being an open request for garbage cart maintenance from May 2026. The property has experienced periodic issues with tree debris, as evidenced by three separate clean-up requests in 2025 (one in May and two in September), and a yard waste pick-up request in September 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. There was also a pothole complaint in the street adjacent to the property in April 2026, which has since been resolved. The building's service history shows relatively few recent issues compared to its total age, though many of the recent requests in 2025-2026 have concerned external environmental matters rather than building-specific problems. It's worth noting that there was an environmental complaint filed in 1997, though the specific nature of this complaint is not detailed in the records.

Risk rating

How 133 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.

Neighborhood percentile
