Initial analysis

The property at 940 N Leamington Ave is a three-unit residential building located in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, built in 1928 and currently owned by Kenneth McGinnis. The building's recent activity, particularly during July 2024, shows multiple service requests related to property maintenance and public safety, with three separate reports in quick succession for tree debris clean-up on July 1 and July 2, followed by an alley light outage complaint on July 16. All three service requests from July 2024 have been marked as closed in the city's 311 system. While the building's record shows relatively few service requests over the past seven years (only three complaints in total), the clustered nature of these recent July 2024 issues suggests a period of heightened maintenance needs, particularly regarding external lighting and landscaping. The overall limited number of service requests could indicate either effective property management or potential underreporting of issues, though this cannot be determined from the available data.

Risk rating

How 940 N Leamington 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
