Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2718 W Farragut Ave in Lincoln Square, owned by Michael Davros, was constructed in 1957 and has had four documented 311 service requests over the past seven years. Most notably, there are recurring rodent-related issues, with an open rat complaint reported in June 2026 and a previous complaint that was closed in July 2024. The property has also experienced some sanitation challenges, evidenced by a closed sanitation code violation in April 2026. Additionally, there was a tree emergency situation in April 2026 that was addressed and closed by the Streets and Sanitation department. While the building has experienced several maintenance issues, the relatively small number of complaints over the seven-year period and the prompt response to service requests may indicate typical urban building management practices, though the recurring nature of the rodent issues is worth noting.

Risk rating

How 2718 W Farragut Ave 1'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.
