Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2327 S Kirkland Ave in North Lawndale, owned by Michael D James, has been in operation since 1908 and has experienced several noteworthy events in recent years. The property has one unresolved building code violation from October 2019, which represents the only building violation on record in the past seven years. The building's service request history shows some concerning patterns, with the most recent activity occurring in June 2026 involving tree emergencies, one of which remains unresolved. Additionally, there is an open water lead test kit request from January 2026 that warrants attention. The property has seen various other service requests including a closed graffiti removal case from December 2025, a resolved low water pressure complaint from November 2025, and a closed tree debris clean-up request from September 2025. While the building's official violation record is relatively minimal, the frequency and nature of recent service requests suggest ongoing maintenance and safety issues that may affect resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 2327 S Kirkland Ave Hse'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.
