Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1333 S Talman Ave in North Lawndale, owned by Sebastian Bilski, has been documented in building records since its construction in 1888. The property has experienced some significant issues in recent months, most notably two water pollution incidents reported in October 2024 that required plumbing intervention. More recently, in May 2026, there is an ongoing open service request regarding a potential leak, which suggests continuing concerns about water-related infrastructure in the building. The property has generated a total of 17 service requests over the past seven years, though many of these have been focused on external issues such as street maintenance, with multiple pothole complaints in 2026 and several tree trimming requests in early 2026. The building's permit activity has been minimal during this period, with only one permit recorded, though this alone does not provide a complete picture of all renovation or maintenance activity. Given the age of the building and the pattern of service requests, particularly those related to water issues, it appears that the property may be experiencing some challenges with its plumbing systems, though the resolution of previous complaints suggests that issues can be addressed when reported.

Risk rating

How 1333 S Talman Ave 01'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.
