Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1812 S Hamlin Ave in North Lawndale, constructed in 1898, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring in late 2025. Most concerning is a December 2025 incident involving water in the basement, which, while closed, suggests potential moisture or drainage system challenges in the property's infrastructure. On the same day, there was also a sewer cleaning inspection request, indicating possible concerns with the property's plumbing or wastewater systems. Prior to these incidents, there was a garbage cart maintenance request in November 2025, which, while less critical than the water and sewer issues, still points to routine maintenance needs for waste management facilities. The property has had a relatively low number of service requests overall (three in the past seven years), but the concentration of these recent incidents suggests that the building systems, particularly related to water and waste management, may require closer monitoring.

Risk rating

How 1812 S Hamlin 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.
