Austin, Chicago IL 60651 16054120010000 2 units · 1913

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1057 N Menard Ave 2 in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Tamika R Loyd, has a recorded history dating back to its 1913 construction. The building's recent municipal service requests from 2024 and 2026 reflect ongoing community engagement and building maintenance matters. Of particular note are the two water lead test kit requests in 2024 and 2026, the most significant health and safety concerns on record. Other service requests include a tree debris clean-up request (currently open), a closed blue recycling cart request, an abandoned vehicle complaint (closed), and an information-only call to 311. In total, there have been seven documented service requests over the past seven years, with the majority being resolved and only two water-related testing matters pending or currently open. The pattern of requests suggests regular property management involvement in city services, with a particular focus on environmental and infrastructure maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1057 N Menard Ave 2'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.
