Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1332 S Washtenaw in North Lawndale, constructed in 1907, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years, particularly concerning the ownership group VCP. The building's historical record shows only one building code violation during this period, recorded in October 2021 related to a permit inspection that remains unresolved. The property has generated three 311 service requests in recent years, specifically including a fly dumping complaint in February 2026, a sign repair request in July 2024, and a pothole complaint in April 2024, all of which were closed following investigation or remediation. While the building itself has maintained relatively few violations and service requests, it's worth noting that the owning entity VCP has a significantly larger aggregate record across its total 13 parcels, with 70 building violations, 183 service requests, 12 building permits, and one environmental complaint in the past seven years. This broader data suggests VCP operates multiple properties with varying conditions, though specific information about other buildings is not included in this report.

Risk rating

How 1332 S Washtenaw'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
5thpercentile
