Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 1510 S Kolin Ave in North Lawndale, owned by Rachelle Faulkner and constructed in 1917, has experienced significant regulatory challenges, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there are six unresolved complaint-driven building code violations from October 2020 and one additional unresolved building code violation from March 2020, which collectively represent the majority of the building's total of nine violations in the past seven years. While two building permits have been filed during this period, the property has generated twelve 311 service requests, with the most recent concerns revolving around abandoned vehicles in June 2026. The building's history also includes multiple administrative violations from May 2006, for which fines of $600 were imposed across various code infractions, though these cases are all marked as closed. The relative lack of recent building permits and the significant number of unresolved violations since 2020 warrant attention, though it's worth noting that many of the recent 311 service requests pertain to street and animal concerns rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1510 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
15thpercentile
