Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2812 N Whipple St in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by S Leonard D & J Koehn. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly in 2024 when multiple complaint-driven inspections were conducted in April, resulting in six code violations that have since been resolved. The building's service request history over the past seven years shows a concerning pattern of rodent-related issues, with four documented rodent baiting or rat complaints between April and October 2025, in addition to a nuisance animal complaint and a building violation report in July 2025. There was also a garbage cart maintenance issue reported through the Alderman's office in April 2025. The property has recorded a total of 13 service requests and 4 building permits in the past seven years, though the specific nature and scope of these permits are not detailed in the available data. While the most recent violations have been resolved, the frequency of rodent-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with pest control at this location.

Risk rating

How 2812 N Whipple 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.
