Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1800 N Lotus Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Mattie Culbertson, was constructed in 1926 and has experienced several notable maintenance and safety-related issues over the past seven years. Most significantly, there are currently three open service requests from May 2026 related to public safety and infrastructure, including two sign repair requests (one for a stop sign and another for general sign maintenance) and an inspection of the public way. These ongoing safety-related concerns are worth noting, as they have remained unresolved for several months. The building's 311 service request history also shows pattern of sign-related complaints, including two general sign repair requests in 2026 and 2025, along with other infrastructure issues such as an alley pothole complaint in 2025. While most previous service requests have been closed, these recent and ongoing issues suggest potential challenges with maintaining public safety signage and infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 1800 N Lotus 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
