Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 225 South Kilpatrick Avenue in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, built in 1903 and currently owned by 225 Kilpatrick Inc., has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years. The building's documented history shows minimal service requests and permit activity, with a total of four 311 service requests and three building permits. The most recent service requests in 2025 primarily involved municipal matters such as a stop sign repair, tree-related issues, and street cleaning, all of which have been resolved. While there were environmental complaints regarding air pollution and vacant building violations recorded in 2011, these incidents occurred over a decade ago and appear to have been properly addressed at the time, with no associated fines. The vacant building violations were particularly noteworthy, including issues related to securing and maintaining the property, as well as requirements for a watchman, though these resulted in a city non-suit with no fines imposed.

Risk rating

How 225 S Kilpatrick 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.
