Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2510 W Ainslie Street in Lincoln Square, owned by Richard T Janus, has been standing since 1922 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most recently, in early 2026, there were two tree trim requests submitted on January 27, though this type of request is no longer being accepted by the city. Late 2025 saw winter-related challenges, including a dibs removal request in December. The summer of 2025 was particularly eventful, with multiple incidents occurring in September, including a vicious animal complaint and two separate dead animal pick-up requests. While the building has had relatively few service requests overall (eight in total over the past seven years), the cluster of incidents in 2025-2026 suggests some environmental and safety challenges in the immediate vicinity during that period, though all recorded cases have been officially closed.

Risk rating

How 2510 W Ainslie St'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.
