Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1936 N Lowell Avenue in Hermosa, owned by Baltazar Murillo, is a 1913 structure that has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there are two open building code violations from May 2022 that were initiated through complaint-driven inspections, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building has recently faced a concerning pattern of construction-related issues, with four open 311 service requests regarding building permit and construction violations in July 2025, all of which remain unresolved as of October 2023. These construction-related concerns have become more frequent, as evidenced by multiple service requests for similar violations during this period. The property has also experienced other maintenance issues, including a plumbing violation in July 2024 that has since been resolved, and a city vehicle sticker violation in May 2025 that was closed as well. While the building has had relatively few documented issues over the past seven years with only two building violations and six 311 service requests, the most pressing concerns appear to be the recent pattern of open construction-related violations and ongoing building code violations that have persisted for an extended period.

Risk rating

How 1936 N Lowell Ave Bsmt'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.
