Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 156 N Lamon Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, built in 1911 and currently owned by Constance Robertson, has a relatively limited service record over the past seven years, with only three documented 311 service requests and a single building permit issued. The most recent incidents all occurred during the winter of 2025, including an ice and snow removal request in December and a missed garbage pick-up complaint in late November. Prior to these winter-related issues, there was one documented rodent baiting/rat complaint in October 2024, which although not ideal, was addressed through the proper channels. The building's permit history shows only one building permit in the past seven years, though this is not uncommon for older buildings unless significant renovations or modifications have been undertaken. While the relatively low number of service requests could be viewed as positive, the concentration of recent winter-related complaints in late 2025 suggests potential areas of concern regarding seasonal maintenance and waste management services.

Risk rating

How 156 N Lamon 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.
