Initial analysis

The 5-unit residential building at 2556 N Kilbourn Ave 2N in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Carlos Macias, has been standing since 1919. Over the past seven years, the property has maintained a relatively clean record with only one building code violation, which was resolved in June 2023, and two building permits filed. The property's service request history shows 22 total incidents, with most recent activity focusing on tree maintenance issues, including two tree debris clean-up requests and a tree trim request in June 2026. Earlier service requests from 2026 include one closed graffiti removal request and two pothole complaints (one still open and one closed). While the building itself has relatively few violations and permits on record, the surrounding area has experienced recurring issues with street maintenance, as evidenced by multiple pothole complaints, though most of these external issues have been addressed promptly through the city's service request system.

Risk rating

How 2556 N Kilbourn Ave 2N'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.
