Initial analysis

The property at 2543 W Devon Avenue is a four-unit residential building located in the West Ridge neighborhood, owned by India Sari Palace Ltd and constructed in 1930. The building's recent record shows some concerning patterns, particularly from 2022 onwards, with two unresolved building code violations related to periodic routine inspections dating back to March 2022. These open violations have remained unresolved for an extended period. Additionally, there was a restaurant complaint logged through 311 city services in April 2024, though this was subsequently closed. The property's service and violation history over the past seven years indicates minimal complaints from other tenants, with only one 311 service request and two building violations specifically tied to the building itself. Notably, the owner has had significantly more interactions with the city through 311 services outside of building-specific issues, with a total of 18 service requests recorded under their name. While the building has received two building permits in the past seven years, the most pressing concerns appear to be the unresolved code violations from 2022, which warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2543 W Devon 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
