Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 2144 N Laramie Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a century-old property constructed in 1908, currently owned by Gary R. Craig. The building's documented service history over the past 7 years has been minimal, with only two 311 service requests recorded during this period - one in May 2024 for tree trimming (a service that is no longer accepted) and another in October 2025 regarding an out street light complaint, both of which have been resolved. Looking further back, the only environmental complaint on record dates back to January 2002 and concerned a noise issue, though there is no indication of the resolution or any pattern of similar complaints. The property's limited service request history over the past two decades could suggest either prompt property management attention to maintenance needs or potentially underreported issues, though no particular service patterns or recurring problems are evident from the available data.

Risk rating

How 2144 N Laramie 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.
