Initial analysis

The two-unit property at 2810 N Richmond Street in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Ernesto De Alba, has a history dating back to 1898. The building's service request record over the past seven years shows a total of eight documented incidents, with the most recent activity occurring in 2025. The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, with three removal requests recorded in 2024-2025, all of which have been successfully closed except for one recent request in October 2025 which remains open. The building has also had two notable pest control incidents in 2025, including a rodent baiting/rat complaint in April which was resolved. Two infrastructure-related service requests are currently pending as of 2025, including an open sign repair request from October 2025 and a tree planting request from February 2025. Given the frequency of graffiti incidents and the recent pest control issues, these environmental factors should be noted by current or prospective tenants, while the relatively low number of service requests over seven years (averaging about one per year) might suggest limited historical maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 2810 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

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.
