Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2825 N Lowell Ave 2 in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Salvador Lopez, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone minimal official record activity over the past seven years. The property has had two building code violations recorded in this period, with the most recent being documented on June 14, 2023, when both complaints were resolved. The building's 311 service request history is limited, showing only one relevant entry in the past seven years - an animal injury report filed in May 2026, though this date appears inconsistent with current records as it extends beyond the present data cutoff. The owner's overall record shows slightly more activity across four parcels, including seven building violations and one building permit in the past seven years, though it's important to note that these numbers do not necessarily correlate directly to the Lowell Avenue property's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2825 N Lowell Ave 2'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
