Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1422 S Saint Louis Avenue in the North Lawndale neighborhood, owned by Adnan Ahmed Shah, was constructed in 2007 and has experienced minimal regulatory activity over the past seven years. The most significant event on record was a cluster of six complaint-driven inspection violations that occurred on October 24, 2019. Notably, all these violations have been resolved, as indicated by their "Complied" status. Outside of these 2019 inspections, the building's records show only one building permit filed in the past seven years, and no other building violations have been documented during this period. While the 2019 violations represent the building's only known compliance issues, their successful resolution is a positive indicator of the owner's responsiveness to regulatory concerns.

Risk rating

How 1422 S Saint Louis 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
12thpercentile
