Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 2217 N Major Avenue in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a century-old building constructed in 1903, currently owned by Ocotlan Guzman. The building's service request history over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents - with only nine recorded requests - and these have primarily centered around basic municipal services. The most recent activity involved a yard waste pick-up request in June 2026, while other notable service requests included snow removal concerns in December 2025 and multiple instances of garbage cart maintenance in mid-2024. Additional documented requests pertain to tree debris clean-up in May 2024 and a parking code enforcement review in October 2024. The service request pattern indicates regular municipal service usage, with no recorded incidents suggesting safety concerns or significant maintenance issues within the building itself. The frequency of requests appears typical for a two-unit residential property, with most issues relating to external maintenance and municipal service needs rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2217 N Major 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.
