Initial analysis

The property at 652 N Lockwood Ave in Austin is a 130-year-old building owned by Ernestine Thomas, with records showing it was constructed in 1893. The building's documented history over the past seven years indicates minimal official complaints or service requests, with only three reported incidents directly associated with the property. However, there are three 311 service requests that occurred in 2024-2025, all related to animal-related issues, including a vicious animal complaint and a report of an injured animal, with the third being a general information request. While these incidents were resolved and marked as closed, none of them appear to have significant implications for the building's condition or resident safety. It's worth noting that the total number of service requests recorded for the owner across all properties is five, with two additional requests that may pertain to a different parcel owned by Ernestine Thomas. The relatively low number of service requests over this extended period suggests stable building management, though the records represent only documented complaints and service requests, not the complete picture of property conditions or management practices.

Risk rating

How 652 N Lockwood 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

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.
