Initial analysis

The 3-unit residential building at 2020 N Leamington Ave in Belmont Cragin, owned by Jose Reyes, has a documented history since its 1910 construction. The property has experienced several notable events in recent years, with particular attention required to unresolved issues from November 2019 when multiple complaint-driven violations were documented but remain open as of the latest records. Most recently, in March 2023, there was a permit-related inspection violation that was resolved. The building has generated numerous 311 service requests this year, with particular focus on water quality concerns, including both a closed water lead test visit and an open water lead test kit request from July 2025. Other recent service requests have addressed various maintenance issues, including garbage cart maintenance, rodent control, and tree debris cleanup, all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was a noise complaint in August 2023 that was investigated but found to have no substantiated violation. The property has maintained only one building permit and one environmental complaint (regarding noise) in the past seven years, though it's worth noting that the pattern of service requests and violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 2020 N Leamington 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.
