Initial analysis

The property at 2548 N Halsted St, located in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood, is a two-unit building owned by Kingston Mines and has been standing since 1963. The building's records over the past seven years show a concerning pattern of unresolved issues, with two open building code violations as of 2025—one from September 2019 related to a complaint-driven inspection and another from August 2025 concerning a periodic routine inspection. While there have been four building code violations documented in total for this period, only two were resolved (in 2020 and 2022). The property has generated multiple 311 service requests, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026, including issues such as e-scooter parking and sanitation code violations. The timing and recurrence of sanitation violations in May 2025, specifically two complaints filed on the same day, may indicate ongoing maintenance or management challenges.

Risk rating

How 2548 N Halsted 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.
