Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 2514 W Farragut Ave in Lincoln Square, constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Adams Realty Inc, has experienced several notable events in recent years, particularly during 2024-2025. The property has faced multiple infrastructure challenges, with four separate alley pothole complaints lodged in early 2025, all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was a rodent-related complaint in February 2025 and a water service issue in December 2024, both of which have been addressed. While the building had a significant number of total building violations (45) recorded over the past seven years, these appear to be historical as no current building permit issues have been noted. The property has had minimal recent service requests, with only eight logged over the past seven years, suggesting either improved maintenance or reduced responsiveness to issues. The most recent service request was for ice and snow removal in December 2025.

Risk rating

How 2514 W Farragut 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

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.
