Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2504 W Hutchinson St in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by John Thale, has been standing since 1916 and has experienced relatively minimal documented activity over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 20 service requests through the 311 system since 2017, with the most recent being an e-scooter parking complaint from June 2026. These service requests have primarily dealt with external issues rather than internal building concerns, including two closed pothole complaints in January 2025, a closed garbage cart maintenance issue in March 2025, and a closed weed removal request in July 2025. The only open service request on record is for tree planting from May 2026. Notably, there has been only one building permit filed in the past seven years, which suggests limited recent construction or major improvements to the property. The historical service request pattern shows little variation in the types of issues reported, with a focus on street and sidewalk conditions rather than building maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 2504 W Hutchinson 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
