Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2216 N Menard Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a 1903 structure currently owned by Rogaciono Hernandez. Over the past seven years, the property has generated minimal administrative activity, with only three recorded 311 service requests and one building permit application. The most recent service requests, created on May 20, 2026, relate to city services for blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance, both of which remain open. Prior to these, there was an open tree planting request filed on August 7, 2025. The building's documented service request history shows no patterns of safety concerns or habitability issues, though the presence of three open requests for municipal services (waste management and tree planting) at the time of this report is noteworthy. The single building permit application on record appears to be from an earlier period, though no specific details about its nature or outcome have been provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2216 N Menard 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.
