Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2051 N Leclaire Ave in Belmont Cragin, owned by Euelyn Hernandez, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced multiple regulatory interactions over the past seven years. Most notably, in August 2023, the property underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in five resolved violations, though one violation from this inspection period remains open and unresolved. This cluster of violations represents the most significant recent activity on record and suggests there were substantial concerns that prompted multiple inspections. Beyond these building code violations, the property has maintained a relatively low profile with only one 311 service request in the past seven years, which was related to a pothole in the street and has since been closed as of October 2024. While the building has had a total of 11 documented violations over the past seven years, most have been resolved, with the exception of the most recent August 2023 inspection. The total number of complaints and violations, while notable, represents a relatively typical pattern of regulatory interaction for an older residential building in Chicago.

Risk rating

How 2051 N Leclaire 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.
