Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2936 N Rockwell St 1 in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a 1923 structure currently owned by Jose Rios Jr. The property has generated a very limited number of service requests over the past seven years, with only two documented incidents. Both requests were related to waste management issues: a blue recycling cart maintenance request in August 2024, and a garbage cart maintenance issue in May 2025. Both of these requests were subsequently closed, indicating they were addressed by the appropriate city services. The minimal number of service requests on record, particularly during the recent period, suggests relatively few ongoing maintenance or operational issues, though it is important to note that this record only captures official service requests and may not represent the full spectrum of building conditions or management practices.

Risk rating

How 2936 N Rockwell St 1'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.
