Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit, 1929-building at 2935 N Fairfield Ave 1 in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, currently owned by Mansfield Park Series, has experienced a concerning pattern of water-related issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple plumbing violations reported in February 2026, occurring alongside a low water pressure complaint, suggesting systemic water infrastructure challenges. The building's water quality concerns are underscored by two lead test kit requests in 2025 and 2026, with one of these requests still showing as open in the system. While the building has had relatively few 311 service requests over the past seven years (10 requests at this unit address and a total of 13 for all owner parcels), the concentration of water-related issues in early 2026 and the ongoing lead testing concerns warrant particular attention. The property's service request history, though limited in quantity, indicates that water infrastructure and quality may be persistent challenges for residents, especially given the age of the building.

Risk rating

How 2935 N Fairfield Ave 1'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
