Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3544 S Lowe Ave in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood is an 1888 structure currently owned by David Laures. The property has generated a total of four 311 service requests over the past seven years, with all incidents occurring in 2025. The most recent series of complaints, all related to garbage cart maintenance, were logged between September 8-9, 2025, suggesting an ongoing issue with waste management at the property. Prior to these service requests, there was one tree trimming request made on April 1, 2025, though it should be noted that this particular request type is no longer being accepted by the city. While the building's relatively low number of service complaints over seven years could be seen as positive, the clustered nature of recent garbage cart maintenance requests in September 2025 particularly stands out as a noteworthy pattern.

Risk rating

How 3544 S Lowe 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.
