Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1535 N Linder Ave in the Austin neighborhood was constructed in 1923 and is currently owned by Robert Vega. The property's documented 311 service request history over the past seven years shows a total of seven entries, with the most recent occurring in June 2026 regarding a street pothole complaint that remains open. The building has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues in recent years, including two tree trim requests in July and October 2024, though these requests are no longer being accepted. The property has also faced waste management challenges, as evidenced by a garbage cart maintenance request in January 2025 and a blue recycling cart issue in April 2026, both of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was one report of an abandoned vehicle in December 2024 that was successfully closed. The service request history suggests regular interaction with city services for various maintenance and infrastructure concerns, though most issues have been resolved in a timely manner, with the exception of the currently open pothole complaint.

Risk rating

How 1535 N Linder 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.
