Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1137 S Mason Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Luke and Danielle Petro, was constructed in 1923 and has had a limited number of service requests on record over the past seven years. Most notably, there are currently two water-related requests in the system - a water lead test kit request from October 2025 (which remains open) and a water lead test visit request from September 2025 (which has been closed). These recent water quality concerns are significant given their potential impact on resident health and safety. Additionally, the building has had two sanitation-related service requests in 2024, including one for garbage cart maintenance and another for a blue recycling cart, both of which were successfully closed. While the relatively low number of service requests might suggest minimal issues, the recent focus on water safety and the presence of unclosed service requests warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1137 S Mason 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.
