Initial analysis

The property at 2833 N Albany Ave is a three-unit residential building located in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by DMB Realty LLC. Built in 1896, this historic structure has experienced minimal service requests and violations in recent years, with only one 311 service request on record for the past seven years. However, the ownership group has incurred a total of 15 building violations during this period, which warrants attention to the building's maintained standards. The most recent service request, created in June 2024, pertains to tree planting and is still open as of this report. It's worth noting that while the total number of 311 service requests linked to the owner is recorded as 99, this figure may encompass multiple properties under DMB Realty LLC's ownership across their 10 total parcels, rather than being specific to just this building. Additionally, only one building permit has been issued for this property in the past seven years, which could suggest limited recent renovations or improvements.

Risk rating

How 2833 N Albany 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.
