Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1424 N Laramie Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by D Hayes, was constructed in 1965 and has had minimal documented issues over the past seven years, with only one building violation recorded. However, this single violation from June 2021 was classified as complaint-driven and remains unresolved as of the latest data update. More recently, in early March 2025, the property experienced a significant water service disruption, with four consecutive "No Water" complaints registered through the 311 system, all of which have been closed. This water service issue appears to be the most pressing recent concern for the building. Additional 311 service requests include a pothole complaint from February 2025 and a missed garbage pickup complaint from December 2024, both of which have also been resolved. While the building has had relatively few documented issues overall, the recent pattern of water service complaints suggests this may have been an intermittent infrastructure challenge, though all these cases have been officially closed according to city records.

Risk rating

How 1424 N Laramie 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
26thpercentile

Out of 7223 buildings in this neighborhood, 5345 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
