Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2171 N Parkside Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Javier Mulero, has been standing since 1956 and has generated a total of 14 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent documented issues occurred in 2026, with a street light outage being reported and subsequently resolved. The property has maintained regular engagement with city services for various municipal matters, including a tree planting request and an abandoned vehicle complaint in 2025, along with a 311 information call, garbage cart maintenance request, and a public way inspection request in March-May 2025. While the building has experienced several service requests over the years, it's worth noting that these have primarily been related to municipal services and infrastructure rather than building-specific maintenance or safety concerns. The nature of these requests suggests regular interaction with city services for typical neighborhood issues, rather than any pattern of building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 2171 N Parkside 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.
