Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1137 S Troy Street in North Lawndale, owned by Lillie Jones, is an 1888 structure that has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Since 2025, there have been multiple reports regarding vacancy and maintenance concerns, including two separate complaints about the building being potentially vacant or abandoned (one filed in April 2026 and another in May 2025), as well as two weed removal and vacant lot clean-up requests (both filed on June 30, 2025) through the Alderman's office. These records, all of which have been marked as closed, suggest an ongoing pattern of property maintenance challenges, though the closure status indicates that the issues were addressed through appropriate channels. While the building's official records show only four service requests in the past seven years, the recent cluster of complaints in 2025-2026 raises questions about the property's current condition and management.

Risk rating

How 1137 S Troy 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

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.
