AI summary

The two-unit building at 2728 W Argyle St in Lincoln Square, owned by Manuel L Arenal, is a 1961 property that has experienced limited municipal engagement over the past seven years. The building's records show only three 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent being a tree trimming request in May 2025, followed by two service requests in June 2024 - one for tree removal inspection and another concerning a sewer cave-in inspection. All these requests have been closed, though it's worth noting that the tree trim request process is no longer accepting new applications. Additionally, the property has had only one building permit issued in the past seven years, indicating minimal construction or modification activity. While the tree-related services and sewer inspection suggest some infrastructure and landscaping maintenance needs, there are no recorded service requests or safety concerns directly related to the building structure or resident safety.

Risk rating

How 2728 W Argyle St Two'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.
