Initial analysis

The three-story, 11-unit residential building at 42 N Pine Street in Chicago's Austin neighborhood was constructed in 1909 and is currently owned by JGW PROP PINE STREET A. The property has experienced some recent issues that warrant attention, with two unresolved building code violations recorded in October 2022 following a complaint-driven inspection. The building's service request history over the past seven years shows a total of 19 interactions, with the most recent and notable cluster of activity occurring in 2025, when there were multiple weed removal requests (on June 17 and June 20) and one general information call (on June 24) - all of which were resolved. Interestingly, there appears to be some discrepancy in the dates, as there are three abandoned vehicle complaints recorded in 2026 (on February 3), suggesting either a clerical error in the record-keeping or that these incidents were recorded out of chronological order.

Risk rating

How 42 N Pine Chicago'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
3rdpercentile
