AI summary

The 13 N Mayfield building in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a 42-unit residential property constructed in 1929, currently owned by 5840 W Madison LLC. The building's recent history (2019-2026) reveals some concerning patterns, particularly regarding unresolved violations, with three open building code violations recorded in late January 2026 related to periodic routine inspections, and one open violation from a complaint-driven inspection conducted in November 2019. The property has generated a total of nine 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent being a report of an injured animal in May 2026. Other documented service requests include reports of building violations (February 2026 and December 2024), a fly dumping complaint (August 2025), and an abandoned vehicle complaint (July 2024). The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years. While several service requests have been successfully closed, the presence of multiple unresolved building code violations, particularly the recent periodic inspection issues, warrants attention to the property’s compliance status and ongoing maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 13 N Mayfield 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

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.
