Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2738 N Central Park Ave in Logan Square, owned by Monika Pawlak, has a history spanning over a century since its construction in 1911. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in late 2021 when the property underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections, resulting in five identified code violations - though it's worth noting that all these violations were officially resolved. While the building's record shows relatively few major infractions over the past seven years, with only one building permit issued, there has been consistent engagement with city services through a total of 11 service requests, primarily related to waste management. The most recent activity from the property includes three service requests in 2026, covering yard waste pick-up and a rodent baiting complaint, with one issue regarding a blue recycling cart remaining open as of May 2026. Previous service requests from 2025 included matters related to garbage cart maintenance and multiple yard waste pick-up requests, all of which were successfully closed. The pattern of service requests suggests regular attention to waste management issues, though most have been resolved promptly through appropriate municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 2738 N Central Park 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.
