Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 215 N Long Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Cole S L & A M & Cole, has been in operation since 1912 and is recorded with seven service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent service requests, both from June 2026, involve ongoing municipal service matters including yard waste pick-up and a tree planting request. The building's service history shows a pattern of sanitation-related concerns, with three incidents related to waste management and sanitation violations within a six-month period in late 2024, including a missed garbage pick-up and a sanitation code violation, as well as a rat complaint that was reported to the Alderman's office. The property has also experienced external infrastructure issues, including a street light outage complaint in September 2025, which has since been resolved. While the age of the building (over 110 years old) and its limited service request history could suggest relative stability, the concentration of sanitation-related incidents in late 2024 and mid-2025 may warrant attention to waste management practices in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 215 N Long 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.

Neighborhood percentile
94thpercentile

Out of 7223 buildings in this neighborhood, 433 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
