Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2551 W Eastwood Ave in Lincoln Square, owned by Robert Weinstein, has been in operation since 1916. The property has maintained relatively few 311 service requests over the past seven years, with only ten requests specifically linked to the building address. However, a significant cluster of service requests occurred recently between September 26-29, 2025, involving five separate dead animal pick-up requests and one stray animal complaint, all of which have been marked as closed in the city's system. While these recent events warrant attention, it's important to note that they appear to be wildlife-related incidents rather than issues directly involving the building's residents or infrastructure. Across all three parcels owned by Weinstein, there have been a total of 29 service requests logged in the past seven years, though the majority of these appear to be concentrated in the recent September 2025 period. No other notable patterns or concerns are evident from the available records, and the building's overall service request history has been relatively stable aside from this recent spike in animal-related incidents.

Risk rating

How 2551 W Eastwood Ave 1'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.
