Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2619 W Lawrence Ave in the Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by 2619 LAWRENCE LLC, has been experiencing significant and ongoing issues in 2024. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved building code violations from August 30, 2024, which represent the most substantial and pressing concerns on record, given their potential impact on resident safety and comfort. The property has also recorded eight building code violations and 13 service requests over the past seven years, though many of these historical issues have been successfully resolved. A recent pattern of abandoned vehicle complaints (two incidents in August 2024) and a graffiti removal request (closed in October 2025) suggests some level of ongoing maintenance and neighborhood interaction challenges. One sign repair request from March 2025 remains open, though this appears to be a minor issue compared to the more recent building code violations. The property, which has been in existence since 1985, has maintained a relatively consistent record of minor violations and service requests, but the concentration of open building code violations in August 2024 marks a particularly concerning period for this address.

Risk rating

How 2619 W Lawrence Ave'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
