Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1455 S Avers Ave 2, located in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, was constructed in 1911 and is currently owned by Michelle Robertson. The property has experienced a notable cluster of recent activity in 2025, with six open complaint-driven violations as of May 2025, all issued on the same date. This pattern of simultaneous violations suggests a potentially significant underlying issue with the building's maintenance or compliance with city codes. Additionally, this year has seen multiple forestry-related service requests, including two open tree planting requests from September 2025, though these are less directly related to building conditions. Earlier in the year, there were two closed vacant lot cleaning requests in May and August 2025, and a plumbing violation identified in January 2025 that has since been resolved. Over the past seven years, the building's record shows a total of 10 building violations, 11 service requests, and only one building permit issued, though most of these records appear to be concentrated in recent years. While the property's historical record is limited, the recent pattern of unresolved violations and service requests may warrant attention from potential tenants regarding the building's current maintenance and compliance status.

Risk rating

How 1455 S Avers Ave 2'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.
