Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2248 W Addison St in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, constructed in 1912, is currently owned by TAXPAYER OF and has been subject to numerous municipal interactions over the past seven years. While the individual building itself has had minimal documented issues in this period - with only three 311 service requests, one building permit, and no recorded violations - the property's ownership record shows significantly higher activity, including 8,731 service requests, 338 building permits, 2,228 building violations, 10 environmental enforcement actions, 33 environmental complaints, and 3 house share violations. The most recent 311 service requests from early 2025 were related to dead animal pick-up requests and a blue recycling cart issue, all of which have been resolved, though these appear to be neighborhood-wide service requests rather than building-specific problems. The substantial number of violations and complaints recorded under the owner's total counts suggests a pattern of regulatory interactions, though it's worth noting that these figures likely encompass multiple properties given the total parcel count of 1077.

Risk rating

How 2248 W Addison St'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.
