Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residence at 165 N Leamington Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood was built in 1908 and is currently owned by Katrina Walls. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows a consistent pattern of maintenance issues and community concerns. The most recent incidents occurred in February 2026, with complaints about fly dumping and two separate reports of abandoned vehicles near the property. In the summer of 2025, the building experienced internal water issues, with a documented complaint about basement flooding in August, following sanitation code violations reported in both July and January of that year. Interestingly, while there are three sanitation-related service requests on record, including one addressed through the Alderman's office, no building code violations or major safety incidents have been documented in this period. The frequency of service requests, particularly during the summer months of 2025, suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and neighborhood cleanliness, though all reported issues have been formally closed according to city records.

Risk rating

How 165 N Leamington 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.

Neighborhood percentile
76thpercentile
