Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2615 N Wilton Ave, currently owned by Jeffrey Charles Lerner, is an 1885 vintage property located in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood. The building's recent records from 2024-2025 show two unresolved building code violations from January 2025, which are notably concerning as they represent the most serious type of complaint-driven inspection. The property has experienced a somewhat unusual spate of external service requests in recent months, totaling 13 in the past seven years, including four separate incidents in early January 2025 involving transportation-related issues (Divvy bike parking and e-scooter parking), along with a rodent baiting complaint and a tree emergency in July 2025. Additional municipal interactions include a stop sign repair request in November 2024 and a building permit and construction violation notice in October 2024, both of which have been resolved. While the property has had some maintenance and compliance issues, it's worth noting that this seven-year period is relatively sparse for a three-unit building, with only two building code violations and one building permit recorded. The recent cluster of service requests and open violations, particularly those from early 2025, suggest ongoing regulatory attention to the property's condition and compliance status.

Risk rating

How 2615 N Wilton 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.
