Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1255 S Fairfield in North Lawndale, owned by OGDEN NORTH LLC, was constructed in 2010 and has had relatively few reported issues over the past seven years compared to similar properties. The building has only one documented building violation during this period, though it is noteworthy that there are currently two open service requests from 2026 - one regarding an alleged building permit and construction violation, and another related to rodent issues. A rodent complaint from February 2026 has been closed, suggesting that some of the property's maintenance challenges are being addressed. Looking at the owner's broader portfolio, OGDEN NORTH LLC has had 21 building violations across 17 parcels in their ownership, along with 129 total service requests and only two building permits obtained in the past seven years. While the relatively new age of the building (2010) and limited number of total violations are somewhat reassuring, the recent pattern of complaints and open violations in 2026 suggests there are currently some unresolved issues requiring attention.

Risk rating

How 1255 S Fairfield'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
23rdpercentile

Out of 3676 buildings in this neighborhood, 2831 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
