Logan Square, Chicago IL 60647 13364100050000 2 units · 1890

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 two-unit residential building at 1849 N Fairfield Ave in Logan Square, owned by Elizabeth Lannen, is a 1890 construction with a limited but concerning record of recent 311 service requests. Over the past seven years, the property has generated three service requests, all occurring within the most recent year and all in the second half of 2024, suggesting a recent pattern of neighborhood-related issues rather than building-specific problems. The most recent complaint, filed in November 2024, pertained to e-scooter parking violations, while an October 2024 request was regarding an out street light, and a May 2024 complaint involved rodent issues. Of these, the rodent complaint may be the most directly relevant to resident comfort, though it was filed approximately six months prior to the current date. It's noteworthy that all three complaints have been closed, though the resolution details are not specified in the available data. The age of the building (133 years old) and the limited but diverse nature of these complaints suggest that while the property may not have significant internal issues on record, it is affected by typical urban infrastructural and neighborhood challenges.

Risk rating

How 1849 N Fairfield 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
25thpercentile
