Unlock complete reportThe two-unit building at 1936 South Homan Avenue, owned by Napoleon Hearn, is a 130-year-old property located in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively low activity, with just 11 service requests filed through the 311 system, all of which have been closed. The most recent issues pertain to municipal infrastructure matters outside the property, including a street pothole complaint in July 2025, cleanup requests for a vacant lot and tree debris in 2024, and an abandoned vehicle complaint from April 2024. The property has experienced one documented zoning violation in May 2024 regarding building permits and construction, though the nature and resolution of this violation are not specified in the records. Additionally, an environmental complaint related to illegal dumping was filed in July 2009, suggesting past issues with waste management in the vicinity, though this is quite dated compared to the more recent service requests.

How 1936 S Homan Ave 1'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.
Out of 3670 buildings in this neighborhood, 2055 are predicted to be safer.
