Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2950 N Albany Avenue in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Teodozja Strel, has been on record since its construction in 1909. The property has generated a total of nine 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being a leak investigation in April 2026 and a recycling pickup request in February 2026. Of particular note are two water-related issues: a basement water complaint in October 2025 and a current open request from April 2025 regarding tree planting. Other service requests include an abandoned vehicle complaint (April 2025) and a sanitation code violation (May 2024), both of which have been resolved. While the building's service request history shows some maintenance and environmental concerns, the relatively low number of total complaints over seven years suggests no major systemic issues, though the most recent water-related incidents warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2950 N Albany 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.
