Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1352 N Lorel Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Darrell Hubbard, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, in April 2025, the property underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six building code violations, all of which were subsequently resolved. Throughout the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of 12 building violations and 4 service requests recorded through the 311 system, while the owner’s full portfolio has experienced 17 violations and 29 service requests across five parcels, though these numbers suggest some violations and requests may not be directly related to the specific building in question. The property has generated three building permits over this period, indicating some level of maintenance or improvement work. Additional service requests included two building violation reports in 2025 and 2024, along with one information-only call and a stray animal complaint in 2024, both of which have been resolved. While the building has had its share of violations and service requests, it's worth noting that the majority of recent issues have been addressed and resolved promptly, though the clustering of violations in April 2025 represents the building's most significant recent regulatory activity.

Risk rating

How 1352 N Lorel 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
19thpercentile
