Initial analysis

The 21-unit, six-story residential building at 48 North Parkside in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, constructed in 1930 and currently managed by Austin Apartment Management Association, has experienced several notable incidents in recent months. The property has received attention for multiple building violations in early 2026, with two documented cases in late January (29th and 31st) that required intervention from city services. Additionally, there was a sewer cleaning inspection request in March 2026, suggesting potential plumbing or sanitation system concerns, and another plumbing violation was recorded on January 29. The building's parking area has also been a point of concern, with two separate abandoned vehicle complaints filed in early 2026 (February 3 and March 6).

Risk rating

How 48 N Parkside 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.
