Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1001 N Lawler Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Mary E Manuel, has experienced several notable events in recent years. The property, constructed in 1913, has had a relatively minimal number of service requests and permits over the past seven years, with only two building permits processed during this period. Most significantly, there were two complaints about vacant or abandoned building conditions in mid-2024 (one reported through the 311 system and one through the Alderman's office), though both of these complaints were subsequently closed. The property has also experienced multiple tree-related issues in 2024, with four separate requests for tree maintenance or inspection, including two for trimming (for which applications were no longer being accepted) and one for debris clean-up, all of which were closed. Given that these requests and complaints were all resolved according to city records, it appears that the building is currently not facing any ongoing environmental maintenance challenges, though the pattern of tree-related service requests suggests some ongoing concerns with vegetation management around the property.

Risk rating

How 1001 N Lawler 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.
