AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2524 W Eastwood Ave in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Carmen Garcia, has been standing since 1915. The property's recent service history, spanning the last three years, shows minimal activity with only three reported 311 service requests directly related to the building itself. The most recent issues have been focused on garbage cart maintenance, with two separate complaints filed in October and September 2025, both of which have since been resolved. Prior to these, there was one complaint about an abandoned vehicle in October 2024, which was also closed. While the building's owner, Carmen Garcia, holds a total of four parcels, it's noteworthy that the combined 311 service request count for all parcels over the past seven years stands at 16, though this figure likely includes multiple unrelated properties. The current service request pattern suggests regular maintenance and prompt resolution of reported issues, with no significant safety concerns or resident experience impacts documented in the available records.

Risk rating

How 2524 W Eastwood 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.
