Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2944 W Fillmore St in the North Lawndale neighborhood, owned by Sean McDonald, was constructed in 1898 and has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. Most concerning is the current open violation from March 2023, which suggests an unresolved building issue that requires attention. There have also been two permit-related inspections in 2020, with one remaining unresolved (from January 2020) and one having been resolved (from September 2020). The property has generated a total of 28 service requests to the 311 system over this period, with the most recent entries in mid-2026 being related to abandoned vehicle complaints, though these are likely street-related issues rather than building concerns.

Risk rating

How 2944 W Fillmore St'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
19thpercentile
