Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2848 N Richmond Street in Avondale, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Paula Shaughnessy, has experienced some notable challenges in recent years. The most pressing concern involves two open building code violations recorded on January 11, 2020, following a complaint-driven inspection, which remain unresolved as of the latest data. In terms of service requests, the property has generated a total of 23 311 calls over the past seven years, with a significant cluster of these occurring in early 2026. Most recently, between February and April 2026, there were multiple rodent-related complaints requiring baiting services, suggesting an ongoing pest control issue. The building's maintenance history does show some positive engagement with city services, including yard waste pick-up requests and an inquiry regarding bungalow/vintage home information in early 2026, though the concentration of rodent-related complaints in a short timeframe raises questions about the property's maintenance conditions during this period.

Risk rating

How 2848 N Richmond 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.
