Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 643 N Pine Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a 130-year-old property currently owned by Tom D Lucas & J Lucas. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows a relatively low number of service requests, with a total of six 311 calls on record. Notably, all six service requests were made during the period between October 2024 and March 2025, with five of these complaints specifically related to street lighting issues, suggesting a recurring problem with exterior lighting in the immediate vicinity of the building. The most recent service request, logged in December 2025, was a general information call to 311 City Services, though this was not related to any building-specific issues. While the age of the building might raise certain concerns typically associated with older properties, such as maintenance or infrastructural matters, the limited number of service requests on record suggests relatively few documented issues. However, it's important to note that this analysis is based solely on the available 311 service request data and may not represent the complete picture of the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 643 N Pine Ave'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.
