Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2221 W Cornelia Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Robert C. Groebner, is an older structure dating back to 1925. The property has maintained a relatively low volume of city service requests over the past seven years, with only 16 recorded incidents. The majority of recent service requests, all from 2025-2026, have been routine municipal matters including tree maintenance (both trimming and debris cleanup), street maintenance (pothole repair), signage issues, garbage cart maintenance, and one water-related inquiry. Each of these requests has been officially closed, indicating they were addressed, with no reported service requests directly related to the building's internal systems or resident amenities. The most recent activity on record has been predominantly focused on street and public space maintenance rather than building-specific issues, though the presence of a water leak check request suggests there was at least some concern regarding building water systems, though the outcome of that inquiry is not specified in the records.

Risk rating

How 2221 W Cornelia 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.
