Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 2518 W Addison St in Chicago's North Center neighborhood was constructed in 2014 and has had relatively few documented issues over its seven-year history. The property, owned by CPH Addison Campbell R and linked to four total parcels, has experienced two building code violations and three 311 service requests during this period. Most notably, there are currently two unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in January 2023 that warrant attention. The building has had one building permit issued in the past seven years, and while there were two ice and snow removal requests and one street cleaning request (both of which were resolved), a water lead test kit request from May 2025 remains open. The overall record suggests routine maintenance requirements have mostly been attended to, though the open violations and pending water lead test request may be points of concern for prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 2518 W Addison 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.
