Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 1319 N Ashland Ave in the West Town neighborhood, owned by SRD Holdings Series 21, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly relating to construction and site maintenance. Most notably, there have been multiple recent violations and enforcement actions regarding construction site cleanliness, with the most recent cases in December 2025 resulting in fines of $750 each. These enforcement actions followed a December 2024 environmental complaint regarding construction and demolition activities that was found to be valid. The building is currently facing multiple open violations from October 2025 related to complaint-driven inspections, though some violations from that date have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 1319 N Ashland 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

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
3rdpercentile
