Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1339 S Troy St, located in the North Lawndale neighborhood, is a 128-year-old structure owned by Raymond Barney. The building's recent history shows a cluster of building code violations in May 2022 where six separate complaint-driven inspections resulted in identified violations, though it's worth noting all of these have since been resolved. The property has had a total of 12 building violations recorded over the past seven years, suggesting a somewhat persistent pattern of regulatory non-compliance. However, the building's record also shows minimal investment in improvements or maintenance, with only one building permit issued in the same seven-year timeframe. While all recent violations have been resolved, the concentration of issues in 2022 indicates there may have been underlying problems requiring multiple inspections to address, and the limited number of permits suggests limited recent physical improvements to the century-old building.

Risk rating

How 1339 S Troy St 2'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.
