Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2642 W Gregory St in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Clifford and Lillian Osuji, has been in existence since 1950 and has amassed a notable record of ongoing concerns over recent years. Most pressing are three unresolved building code violations documented through complaint-driven inspections in September 2019 and September 2024, representing the building's only recorded violations in the past seven years. The property has also generated ten 311 service requests in the same period, with the most recent issues in 2026 involving garbage cart maintenance and tree emergencies. While several of these service requests have been resolved, including two tree emergencies and an abandoned vehicle complaint in 2025, the persistence of garbage cart maintenance issues suggests ongoing operational challenges. It's worth noting a historical environmental complaint from November 2000 regarding service stations/storage tanks, though this appears to be an isolated incident from over two decades ago. The combination of unresolved building code violations and repeated service requests related to waste management infrastructure may indicate areas of concern regarding building maintenance and resident amenities.

Risk rating

How 2642 W Gregory St'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.
