Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3125 S Lawndale Ave in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by Nicolas Covarrubias, is a century-old structure built in 1914. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents, with only four 311 service requests on record. Notably, all these requests are concentrated within a single year (2024-2025), with three specifically related to sidewalk inspection requests between June 2024 and June 2025, suggesting a potential ongoing concern about the sidewalk's condition or safety that has required multiple assessments. The most recent service request, from June 2026, pertains to a Water Lead Test Kit Request, which is currently open and could indicate an environmental health concern regarding water quality. While the building's overall service request history is limited, the presence of multiple sidewalk inspection requests and an open water quality-related request warrant attention to these specific areas of infrastructure and safety.

Risk rating

How 3125 S Lawndale Ave'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.
