Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2535 W Glenlake Ave, located in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, is a 1937 property currently owned by Hani S Nissan. The building's recent records show some concerning patterns, most notably three unresolved building code violations from March 2025 categorized as complaint-driven inspections, which are currently open and awaiting resolution. The property has experienced a significant number of 311 service requests, totaling 24 in the last seven years, though the majority of these (22 out of 24) have been related to non-building specific issues such as abandoned vehicle complaints (four instances) and general information calls. There is currently one open service request from January 2026 regarding a sign repair issue, and a resolved complaint from December 2025 concerning uncleared snow on the sidewalk. While the building has had relatively few violations overall, with only three recorded in the past seven years, the presence of multiple open building code violations from 2025 and the recent nature of various service requests merit attention to the property's current maintenance and compliance status.

Risk rating

How 2535 W Glenlake Ave 1St'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.
