Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2454 W Berwyn Ave in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Nguyen & Abraham, was constructed in 1954 and has had a total of nine 311 service requests filed against it in the past seven years. The most recent incidents, all occurring in 2025, suggest a particularly challenging period for the property, with two rodent-related complaints registered in July (one on the 15th and another on the 8th), followed by an ice and snow removal request in December and a water on street complaint in January 2026. The building's service history also includes two information-only calls to 311 City Services in June and July 2025, though these calls do not indicate any specific property issues. While the building has experienced multiple service requests, it's worth noting that all reported issues have been formally closed, suggesting that the appropriate responses were initiated to address these concerns.

Risk rating

How 2454 W Berwyn 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
