Initial analysis

The property at 1621 S Keeler Ave in North Lawndale is a two-unit building owned by Neil Healey LLC, dating back to 1888. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only one building permit recorded during this period. The property has generated ten 311 service requests, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring between January and February 2025. This recent activity suggests there may be ongoing concerns with local wildlife and tree maintenance in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple tree trim requests and a coyote interaction complaint in early 2025. The property has also experienced typical urban challenges such as snow-related issues and the need for animal removal services, including a recently closed dead animal pick-up request and a snow object/dibs removal request in mid-2025. While these service requests indicate some level of maintenance activity, it's worth noting that the majority of these issues are related to external factors rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1621 S Keeler 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.

Neighborhood percentile
