Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 2606 N California Ave in Logan Square, owned by BRIDGEGROUP LLC SERIES, is a 1910 structure with a notable history of unresolved issues as of October 2023. Most concerning is the cluster of five open violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections on September 17, 2020, which remain unresolved nearly three years later. While the property has generated a total of 27 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, many of these relate to routine municipal matters such as tree trimming and graffiti removal, with the most recent requests occurring in 2026. The building's environmental history includes two complaints, most recently in May 2023 related to construction and demolition activities, though these were resolved on the same date. The property's record also shows a historical noise complaint from November 2009, though this is less relevant given the passage of time and more recent issues.

Risk rating

How 2606 N California 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
