Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1124 S Richmond St in North Lawndale, owned by Gilberto Diaz, dates back to 1898 and has had limited documented issues over the past seven years. The most significant concern is an unresolved building code violation from April 2021, which appears to be the only formal violation on record during this period. The property has generated a total of ten 311 service requests since 2015, with the most recent being an open street light out complaint from April 2026 and an open tree planting request from August 2025. The service requests have typically been resolved promptly, with several being for routine neighborhood issues such as missed garbage pick-up (January 2026), cable TV concerns (January 2026), a stray animal incident (October 2025), and a sanitation code violation (July 2025). The building has maintained minimal official violations or complaints, with only one building permit recorded in the last seven years. While the open violation from 2021 and two recent open service requests warrant attention, the overall record suggests relatively few issues requiring municipal intervention.

Risk rating

How 1124 S Richmond St'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
