Initial analysis

The three-unit, 2004-built residential building at 1252 S Kolin Ave in North Lawndale, currently owned by Property Alliance LLC, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are three open violations resulting from a complaint-driven inspection on May 16, 2022, which remain unresolved as of the latest data. Over the past seven years, the property has accumulated three building violations specifically related to building codes, while the ownership group, Property Alliance LLC, has a larger track record of 30 total violations across three parcels. Additionally, there have been 15 service requests filed through the 311 system regarding this property over the same seven-year period, though the nature and resolution of these requests are not specified in the available data. While the building was constructed relatively recently in 2004, the current open violations from 2022 suggest ongoing compliance issues that have not yet been addressed.

Risk rating

How 1252 S Kolin 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

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
3rdpercentile
