Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 13457 S Baltimore Ave in Hegewisch, owned by Robert Zajac, is a historic structure built in 1888. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of eight service requests filed through the 311 system, with the most recent being an open water lead test kit request from August 2025, which could indicate ongoing concerns about water quality in the building. A notable cluster of infrastructure-related issues was reported in late 2024, with four separate street light-related complaints, including two street light outages in December, another outage in September, and a street light pole damage complaint in August, all of which have been closed. Additionally, there was a stop sign repair request in May 2024 that was subsequently addressed. While the building itself has had relatively few complaints in recent years, the frequency of street light issues in 2024 and the open water quality concern from 2025 are worth noting as potential areas of concern for residents.

Risk rating

How 13457 S Baltimore 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.
