North Lawndale, Chicago IL 60608 16242070170000 3 units · 1888

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 1309 S Fairfield Ave in North Lawndale is an 1888 construction currently owned by HUBERT GRP LLC. The property has generated minimal municipal service activity over the past seven years, with only two documented 311 service requests. These requests are relatively recent, occurring in 2025 and 2026. The first, filed in April 2025, was regarding illegal dumping activity (specifically noted as "Fly Dumping") in the vicinity of the property, while the second request in May 2026 was an information-only call to the 311 City Services department. Both incidents were classified as closed cases in the 311 system. Given the limited number of service requests on record, there appears to be no significant pattern of building-specific issues or complaints, though it's worth noting that one of the two recorded incidents pertains to environmental concerns in the surrounding area rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1309 S Fairfield Ave 3'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
46thpercentile

Out of 3676 buildings in this neighborhood, 1985 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
