Initial analysis

The six-unit apartment building at 1555 S Millard Ave in North Lawndale, owned by MDN INVESTMENTS INC, is a 115-year-old structure with a limited but noteworthy history of building violations and service requests. Most concerning is an unresolved permit-related inspection violation from August 2024, which represents the only building code violation recorded in the past seven years. The property has generated ten 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being an abandoned vehicle complaint in May 2026. Other service requests include a fly dumping complaint (March 2026), tree trim request (February 2026), and a dead animal pick-up request (December 2025). Two of the 311 service requests appear to be informational in nature and were processed without requiring direct intervention (February and December 2025). While the number of service requests might suggest occasional maintenance concerns in the surrounding area, it's important to note that these requests are generally related to city services rather than direct building issues, with the sole building violation being the primary indicator of potential property maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 1555 S Millard Ave 6'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.
