Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 1903 multi-family residential building at 1515 S Millard Ave in North Lawndale is currently owned by Bank Financial and has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most significantly, the property has three open, unresolved complaint-driven violations as of September 2024, which represents the most pressing current concerns affecting the building. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with one rat complaint recorded in January 2026, though this request has since been closed. Between February and March 2026, there were two tree trimming requests that were no longer being accepted when submitted. Additionally, there were two building violations reported and subsequently closed in May 2024, suggesting some ongoing maintenance or compliance challenges. The building's violation and service request history over the past seven years indicates a pattern of both pest management and maintenance concerns, though the relatively recent nature of the open violations warrants particular attention.

Risk rating

How 1515 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

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.
