Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1701 N Austin Ave in the Austin neighborhood, dating from 1922 and owned by Adrian Martinez, currently shows some concerning trends in its recent history. Most significantly, there are three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in January 2025 that remain open as of October 2023, which could potentially impact resident safety and comfort. The property has generated a total of 17 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent issues being primarily infrastructure and maintenance-related. In 2026 alone, there were complaints about water on the street and an out street light, both of which have been resolved. Additionally, there were several maintenance requests in 2025 including graffiti removal, tree debris clean-up, and multiple sign repair requests, all of which have been addressed. While the building's overall record shows attention to maintenance issues through the resolution of various service requests, the presence of open building code violations from early 2025 warrants particular attention as the most pressing concern in the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 1701 N Austin 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
