Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1945 S Keeler Ave in North Lawndale, currently owned by Freddy Sanchez, has been standing since 1911 and has experienced several significant events in recent years. The building has two unresolved building code violations dating back to August 2019, which are particularly concerning given their open status. Over the past seven years, there have been three building permits issued, though the records do not provide details on their specific nature or outcomes. The property has been subject to three 311 service requests during this period: a construction-related complaint in March 2024 regarding a lack of building permit that has since been resolved, a snow removal issue from December 2025 concerning uncleared sidewalks, and a fly dumping complaint from March 2026, both of which reached resolution. The open building code violations from 2019 warrant particular attention, as they represent the only remaining unresolved issues in the building's recent history, while the other documented incidents, though notable, pertain more to property maintenance and neighborhood concerns rather than direct building safety or habitability issues.

Risk rating

How 1945 S Keeler 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
6thpercentile

Out of 3676 buildings in this neighborhood, 3455 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
