Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1921 S Spaulding Ave in North Lawndale, owned by Dan Patrascan, is a 125-year-old property that has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. Most significantly, in March 2023, the building underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in seven code violations, though all of these were successfully resolved. Since then, the property has maintained compliance with building codes. The building has had three 311 service requests in recent years, including a sewage cleaning inspection in March 2025, a sanitation code violation in September 2024, and a leak check request in May 2026, all of which have been closed. The record shows that the building has had consistent oversight and timely responses to violations, with all identified issues being resolved, though the frequency of various service requests and violations indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring is required for this older structure.

Risk rating

How 1921 S Spaulding Ave 1'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
13thpercentile

Out of 3676 buildings in this neighborhood, 3198 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
