North Lawndale, Chicago IL 60623 16232120270000 2 units · 2026

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 residential building at 3254 W Douglas Blvd in North Lawndale, currently owned by Aster Land Co, was constructed in 2026 and has maintained a relatively minimal record of service requests and permits over the past seven years. The property has experienced three documented 311 service requests, with the most recent being a closed leak check request from March 2026, and prior incidents including a fly dumping complaint in December 2024 and a tree trimming request from November 2024, both of which were also closed. The building's regulatory record shows only one building violation in the past seven years, suggesting generally good compliance with building codes, though this should be confirmed through more detailed inspection records. While Aster Land Co owns three parcels in total, their record shows a limited number of building permits pulled (two in total), which might indicate either minimal required modifications to the property or potential underutilization of permitted improvements, though this cannot be definitively determined without further context on the nature of these permits.

Risk rating

How 3254 W Douglas Blvd'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
