North Lawndale, Chicago IL 60623 16234050110000 3 units · 1904

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1636 S Spaulding Ave in North Lawndale, owned by Jesse A Green, has a century-plus history dating back to 1904. The property has generated a total of nine documented 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. Notably, the building has a combination of open and closed service requests, with three active issues as of 2024-2025: a tree emergency (reported November 2025), a sign repair request (December 2024), and a pair of sanitation-related matters (garbage and recycling cart maintenance) reported in August 2024. Historical service requests include an abandoned vehicle complaint (October 2024) and at least one informational inquiry (February 2026) - the latter being an information-only call that presents no impact on resident experience. The pattern of service requests suggests that while the building generates periodic maintenance and municipal service needs, the majority of reported issues are related to external infrastructure and public services rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1636 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

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
