Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 722 N Laramie Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is an 1898 structure currently owned by Edwina Betts. The property has experienced significant issues in recent years, with an unusual spike in activity occurring in 2026, including three dead animal removal requests and three vacant/abandoned building complaints between April and May 2026. While these service requests were all subsequently closed, their clustering suggests potential maintenance or occupancy challenges. The building's history includes multiple unresolved building code violations from August 2019, with six complaints on record from a complaint-driven inspection that remain open, representing a concerning pattern of non-compliance with building regulations that has persisted for over four years. The only recorded environmental complaint dates back to July 2014 and was determined to have no basis upon investigation. The property has had minimal documented service requests prior to 2026, with only one other service request (type unspecified) recorded in the past seven years, suggesting these recent incidents may not be an isolated pattern but rather indicative of current management or maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 722 N Laramie Ave 1'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.
