Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 1801 S Hamlin Ave in North Lawndale, owned by Ma Marcus J Weathersby, has been officially recorded as having been constructed in 1903. The property has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an open building code violation dating from November 19, 2025, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building has generated multiple service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most significant recurring issue being water in the basement, which has been reported through two separate complaints in October 2025 (19th and 28th). Other documented service encounters include a building violation report on October 31, 2025, an information-only call to 311 on November 10, 2025, a garbage cart maintenance issue on September 9, 2025, and an abandoned vehicle complaint on March 21, 2025. While the building has received attention from city services on various matters, it's worth noting that the volume of service requests and violations has been relatively low given the seven-year timeframe, though the recent clustering of issues in late 2025 is notable.

Risk rating

How 1801 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.

Neighborhood percentile
