Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 2418 N Seminary Ave, located in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood, was built in 1878 and is currently owned by Shannon Gallagher. The property has undergone periodic routine inspections, with five open violations recorded as recently as May 2024, indicating unresolved compliance issues that could potentially affect resident safety and property maintenance. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced a total of 13 service requests through the 311 system. These requests include multiple reports of rodent issues, with two rat-related complaints documented in 2025, as well as other maintenance concerns such as graffiti removal and a blue recycling cart request. An inspection of the porch was also conducted in October 2024, though the outcomes of these inspections are not detailed in the records. While some historical context shows this building has faced various maintenance challenges, it's important to note that the open violations from 2024 represent the most significant current concern regarding the property's condition and safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 2418 N Seminary 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.
