Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1402 S Komensky Ave in North Lawndale, owned by Freddie Lee, is a 125-year-old structure with a concerning record of unresolved issues. Most notably, there are seven open, unresolved building code violations stemming from a complaint-driven inspection conducted on December 2, 2020, with no subsequent resolution apparent over the past three years. The building's recent service request history is mixed, with one ongoing request for a water lead test kit as of April 2026, which raises potential health concerns. While there have been several closed service requests in the past few years (including an information-only call in February 2026, an abandoned vehicle complaint in December 2025, a clean and green program request in July 2025, and a sign repair request in November 2024), none of these directly address the building's structural or safety conditions. The property has only one building permit on record over this seven-year period, which is unusually low for a property of this age. The combination of multiple open violations and limited permitting activity suggests potential maintenance and compliance concerns that warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1402 S Komensky Ave Hse'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.
