Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2827 N Talman Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Jorge Hernandez, has a recorded history dating back to its 1906 construction. The property's recent 311 service request activity over the past seven years shows minimal direct tenant-initiated complaints, with only three registered requests in that period. However, there has been a notable cluster of health and sanitation-related issues in the most recent reporting period (2024-2025), including a rodent baiting complaint (May 2025), a fly dumping incident (September 2024), and a garbage cart maintenance issue (August 2024), all of which have been resolved. While these environmental concerns appear to have been addressed through normal city service channels, the concentration of waste-related complaints in 2024-2025 suggests some recent challenges with waste management infrastructure in the immediate vicinity. The property's overall service request history shows 44 total service requests under the owner's name across three parcels, though the specific nature and resolution of these requests are not detailed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2827 N Talman 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
