2707 W 12Th Chicago

North Lawndale, Chicago IL 60608 16242070410000 17 units · 2013

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 17-unit residential building at 2707 W 12th Street in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, owned by OGDEN NORTH LLC, was constructed in 2013 and has experienced several notable incidents over its seven-year history. Of particular concern is a recent cluster of water-related issues in April 2026, with three water on street complaints filed in the first half of the month, two of which remain open as of the latest data. This water-related situation follows a pattern of infrastructure concerns, as indicated by a leak check request earlier in May 2026. The building's overall service request and violation history shows 23 311 service requests recorded in the first seven years, along with 21 building violations, though it's worth noting that these numbers should be interpreted with caution given the property is relatively new and recent water-related problems.

Risk rating

How 2707 W 12Th Chicago'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
3rdpercentile
