Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2211 N Major Avenue in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a turn-of-the-century property constructed in 1904, currently owned by Janet Castro. The building's records over the past seven years show relatively minimal activity, with only one building violation documented - a pending complaint-driven inspection from May 2024 that remains unresolved as of October 2023. The property has generated three 311 service requests in recent months, all in 2024, including a finance parking code enforcement review in October (now closed), a 311 information-only call in June (closed), and a sanitation code violation in May (closed). While the limited number of violations and service requests might suggest stable management, the open building violation from May 2024 and recent sanitation issues could warrant attention as potential areas impacting resident experience.

Risk rating

How 2211 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.
