AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 408 N Lavergne Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Limmie Bolden, has been standing since 1911. The property has generated seven 311 service requests over the past seven years, with several notable incidents occurring between late 2024 and 2025. Most concerning is the most recent rodent complaint from August 2025, which followed a series of service requests in late 2024 for dead animal removal, suggesting potential environmental or sanitation issues. The property has also required various municipal services including a tree emergency in March 2025 and a blue recycling cart request in February 2025. A water lead test kit request made in October 2024 is particularly significant, as it suggests the owner is investigating potential lead contamination in the water supply, though the outcome of this request is not documented in the available data. While all these service requests have been marked as closed, the pattern of complaints—particularly the more recent rodent issue and water lead test—merits attention to the property's maintenance and environmental conditions.

Risk rating

How 408 N Lavergne 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.
