Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2523 N Richmond St in Logan Square, owned by Santos Marchan, has a relatively straightforward record spanning the past seven years. Built in 1902, this property has had minimal official violations, recording only one building code violation in January 2020 related to permit inspections, though this was subsequently resolved. The most notable recent activity concerns multiple waste management issues, particularly in late 2025, with five separate garbage cart maintenance requests filed between October and November, of which three remain open as of the latest data. These service requests, primarily directed to the Streets and Sanitation department, suggest ongoing challenges with waste management infrastructure at the property. Additionally, there was one incident of illegal dumping in late 2019 that resulted in a founded violation, and one unrelated 311 service request regarding an abandoned vehicle in March 2026 that has since been closed. While the violation and complaint history isn't extensive, the concentration of recent waste management issues could indicate broader concerns with property maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2523 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.

Neighborhood percentile
