Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1316 S Millard Ave in North Lawndale, built in 1908 and currently owned by Lawndale Christian Development, has experienced various maintenance and service issues over the past several years. The property has recorded a total of 26 building violations and 24 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, suggesting ongoing management challenges. Most of the recent service requests filed between 2025 and 2026 have been related to waste management issues, including missed garbage pick-ups and recycling cart maintenance, though all these specific requests were ultimately resolved. The building's permit history shows minimal activity, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, though the owner has had a total of four permits across all their parcels. A historical environmental complaint from 1996 regarding illegal dumping was also filed against the property, though this is now quite dated. The concentration of building violations relative to the number of units suggests potential concerns regarding ongoing property maintenance, while the recent cluster of waste management-related service requests indicates challenges with basic operational services in the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 1316 S Millard 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.
