Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2918 N Springfield Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Oscar Luciano, is a century-old property constructed in 1913. The building's recent service request history spanning the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only three documented 311 service requests since 2017. Two of these requests were made in December 2024, one concerning a rodent baiting/rat complaint (which has since been closed) and another related to tree planting, which remains open as of the last record update. Prior to these, there was a street-related service request in September 2024 regarding a pothole complaint, which was also closed. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit residential building, the most recent rat complaint and ongoing tree-related request in December 2024 warrant attention as they directly relate to resident quality of life and environmental conditions.

Risk rating

How 2918 N Springfield 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.
