Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2500 N Lotus Ave in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Manuel N Mizhquiri, has a relatively limited record of issues over the past seven years since its construction in 1926. The most significant current concern is an unresolved building code violation from March 2025, which was triggered by a complaint-driven inspection. While the building has had other service requests, none of these appear to be directly related to the building's habitability or safety. These include a finance parking code enforcement review in April 2026, a tree emergency in May 2025, and a building violation request in October 2024, with all these matters having been closed. The property's record shows one building violation and three 311 service requests over the past seven years, indicating generally good maintenance and compliance history, though the open building code violation from 2025 warrants attention as the most current and notable issue.

Risk rating

How 2500 N Lotus 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
