Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1532 S Spaulding Ave in North Lawndale, built in 1891 and currently owned by Andre Charles, has had a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of five 311 service requests recorded for the building itself and an additional three associated with the owner's total parcels. The most recent activity, recorded in March 2026, involved complaints about Divvy bike parking, which followed a similar complaint made in November 2025. Two tree-related service requests were made in 2024 and 2025, including a tree emergency response and a trim request, though the latter service is no longer being accepted. An information-only call to 311 was also logged in August 2024. While the building's service request history is relatively minimal, the concentration of recent Divvy bike parking complaints and the two tree-related issues in 2024-2025 are the most notable patterns in its service history.

Risk rating

How 1532 S Spaulding 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.
