Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family building at 2639 N Laramie in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by PMG, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years, particularly in the most recent two years. As of February 2024, there were two complaint-driven inspections, one of which has been resolved while another remains open and unresolved. The building's 311 service requests from 2024 to 2026 include a sanitation code violation and a fly dumping complaint in 2024, both of which were resolved, as well as a closed alley pothole complaint from 2025. The property's violation history shows persistent issues, with a total of 10 building violations and 6 service requests recorded against the current ownership. While the building received one building permit during this seven-year period, the relatively high number of violations and recent unresolved inspection could be of concern. It's worth noting that the property has had two building violations recorded in the past seven years, though the majority of these have been resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 2639 N Laramie'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.
