Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2701 W Carmen Ave 2 in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood has experienced several notable events over recent years. The property, owned by Peter Haritos and constructed in 1960, has had a total of 17 documented 311 service requests over the past seven years, with a particularly concerning cluster of rodent-related issues occurring in 2025. Between July and September 2025, there were at least five separate rodent baiting or rat complaints filed through city services, indicating a potentially persistent pest control challenge during that period. The building's most recent service request, dating to May 2026, involved a dead animal pick-up, though the impact of this specific incident on resident experience is less clear. The property also had one tree trimming request in June 2025, though it's worth noting that this type of request is no longer being accepted by the city. While the building has had its share of maintenance and safety-related issues as reflected in these service requests, it's important to note that not all requests necessarily indicate structural or safety concerns, as some may relate to general pest control or environmental maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 2701 W Carmen Ave 2'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.
