Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2817 W Wellington Ave in Avondale, owned by Thomas Slater, has been standing since 1896. Over the past seven years, the property has logged a total of 11 service requests through the city's 311 system, though none of these directly relate to the building's condition or resident services. The service request history primarily consists of external neighborhood issues, with four reports of abandoned vehicles (two in April 2026, one in February 2026, and one in September 2024) and two dead animal removal requests (September 2024 and February 2026). There was also one garbage cart maintenance request in March 2025, and one informational call to 311 in September 2024. The building permits record shows only one permit issued in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the provided data. It's worth noting that while there have been multiple service requests recorded, these appear to be mostly related to street and neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns, and all reported issues have been marked as closed.

Risk rating

How 2817 W Wellington 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
