AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 1047 South Mayfield Avenue in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by John Barbara Stroger and constructed in 1928, has experienced a notable number of building violations and service requests over the past seven years. Most concerning are the recent developments from April 2024, when six complaint-driven inspections were conducted, leaving four violations currently unresolved, though two from the same date have been resolved. The building's record also shows a pattern of service requests related to street conditions, with multiple reports of potholes between 2025 and 2026, including one still open as of March 2026. Additionally, there were several tree trim requests in February 2026, though these services are no longer being accepted. While the building has had a total of 12 violations and 10 service requests in the past seven years, it's worth noting that the majority of these issues seem to pertain to external infrastructure and street conditions rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1047 S Mayfield Ave 3'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.
