Initial analysis

The seven-unit residential building at 2944 W Devon in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, constructed in 1967 and currently owned by the Ruth S Gerskowitz Trust, has maintained a relatively low record of issues over the past seven years. The property has one unresolved building code violation from December 2022, which was triggered by a complaint-driven inspection. In terms of municipal service requests, there have been two incidents recorded: a street light outage in November 2025 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in April 2025, both of which were resolved. Environmental complaints show a pattern of noise-related issues, with the most recent noise complaint filed in 2019 (which resulted in no violation being found) and multiple complaints from 1994, including four documented noise complaints between April and June of that year.

Risk rating

How 2944 W Devon Chicago'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.

Neighborhood percentile
6thpercentile
