Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2834 N Maplewood Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is an 1890 structure currently owned by Andrew T. Gould. The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance activity over the past seven years, with a notable cluster of four complaint-driven building code violations in August 2019, though all of these were subsequently resolved. More recently, the property has generated three 311 service requests: a yard waste pick-up request from June 2025 (which was closed), and two tree planting requests, one from October 2024 (closed) and another from April 2026 (currently open). While the building has had some violations in its record, it's worth noting that all building code violations were resolved promptly, and the recent service requests primarily relate to municipal services rather than building maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 2834 N Maplewood 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.
