Belmont Cragin, Chicago IL 60639 13321110290000 4 units · 1926

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 2237 N Mulligan Ave, owned by Efren Garcia, is a two-story structure located in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood and was constructed in 1926. The property has generated a total of 17 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with a notable cluster of activity occurring in September 2025. During that month alone, there were five documented service requests, including two related to garbage cart maintenance, one for blue recycling cart services, an abandoned vehicle complaint, and a rodent baiting/rat complaint. More recently, in December 2025, there was a request for dead animal pickup services, which has since been closed. While the building is relatively old at 97 years, it appears to have maintained regular usage of city services, particularly regarding waste management and pest control, which could be areas of ongoing attention for the property. The density of service requests in September 2025, focusing primarily on waste management and recycling issues, stands out as the most significant pattern in the building's service request history.

Risk rating

How 2237 N Mulligan Ave 1St'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.
