Initial analysis

The three-story building at 2535 W Devon in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Devon Bank Tut 7128, was constructed in 1925 and has a documented history of both code violations and service requests over the past seven years. Notably, there are two unresolved building code violations from September 2020 and January 2025, which represent the building's only documented violations in this period. The property has experienced three separate 311 service requests in recent years, all of which have been resolved. These incidents include two restaurant-related complaints in February 2025 (handled by the Business Affairs and Consumer Protection department) and January 2026, as well as a rodent-related complaint in March 2025 that was addressed by the Alderman's office. While the building has experienced multiple service requests, it's significant to note that both building code violations remain open and unresolved, with one dating back to 2020, which may warrant attention to the building's compliance status.

Risk rating

How 2535 W Devon'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
5thpercentile

Out of 3126 buildings in this neighborhood, 2970 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
