Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2321 N Latrobe Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Rafael Garcia, has a mixed record since 2016, with the most significant events occurring in 2021. The 98-year-old property has experienced three building code violations over the past seven years, with all three violations occurring on June 3, 2021, during a complaint-driven inspection. While two of these violations were resolved, one remains open and unresolved as of the latest data update. The building's permit history shows minimal activity, with only one permit issued in the past seven years, though the owner holds nine total parcels across different properties. The property has generated notable service activity, with 62 311 service requests filed by the owner, though it's worth noting that the total number of building permits issued by the owner across all parcels is only three. Environmental concerns appear to have been a minor issue, with two complaints filed in the past seven years. While the property has had some code violation activity, the limited number of total building permits and the significant number of service requests filed warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2321 N Latrobe 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.
