Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2825 N Francisco Ave in Avondale, owned by Rose E Bucio, is a 1905 construction with a somewhat concerning recent history. The property has four unresolved building code violations as of February 2020, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections, which represents the only documented building violations in the past seven years. Looking at service requests to 311, there have been eight recorded in the past seven years, with the most recent requests occurring in late 2025, including multiple fly dumping complaints and a dead animal removal request. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of issues, including waste management concerns (evidenced by the fly dumping complaints and yard waste requests), and environmental considerations such as a water lead test kit request filed in October 2024. Other service requests have included a tree planting request in June 2025, indicating some level of property management engagement with community initiatives. While the number of 311 service requests is relatively modest for a three-unit building, the presence of consistent waste-related complaints and unresolved building violations from 2020 suggests attention to tenant quality of life may be necessary.

Risk rating

How 2825 N Francisco 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.
