Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 843 N Lockwood Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by James Mohametig Ross, dates back to 1893. Over the past seven years, there have been four documented 311 service requests associated with the property. The most recent request, filed in June 2026, is a currently open tree emergency report submitted to the Alderman's office. Prior to this, there was an abandoned vehicle complaint in May 2026 that has since been resolved, an inspection of the public way in March 2026 (now closed), and a garbage cart maintenance issue in March 2026 that was addressed by the Department of Streets and Sanitation. The relatively small number of service requests over this period, with only one currently pending, suggests limited documented interference with resident quality of life, though the most recent tree emergency may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 843 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.

Neighborhood percentile
57thpercentile
