Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 2-unit residential building at 1328 S Troy St in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, owned by Alexander & Nancy Cox, is a 127-year-old structure that has maintained relatively minimal activity on its record over the past seven years. Since 2017, there has been only one building permit issued and a total of 15 service requests to 311. The most notable pattern in recent service requests is a series of sanitation-related issues in early 2025, including three complaints about missed garbage pick-ups (March and July), and a request for garbage cart maintenance (January). There have also been concerns about outdoor dining in July 2025 and the need for a sidewalk inspection in February 2025, along with a street cleaning request in November 2025. These service requests suggest ongoing challenges with waste management and public space maintenance around the property, particularly during the first half of 2025, while also indicating some interaction with neighboring businesses (regarding the sidewalk café complaint).

Risk rating

How 1328 S Troy 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
