Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1446 N Lockwood Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Baron Despenza, has been standing since 1925. Over the past seven years, there have been three recorded service requests, all concerning tree-related matters between March 2024 and March 2025. These requests, which consisted of a tree trim request, a tree removal inspection, and a tree emergency, were all handled by the Department of Streets and Sanitation and have since been closed. Notably, the tree trim request was submitted under a category that is no longer accepting applications, which indicates a potential change in city policy regarding tree maintenance requests. While the building's maintenance record shows minimal service requests, the concentration of three tree-related issues within approximately one year suggests that the property's landscape management may require ongoing attention, though all reported issues have been resolved through proper municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 1446 N Lockwood 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.
