Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 2453 N Milwaukee Ave in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, owned by Luis Martinez, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone relatively minimal documented change over the past seven years. The property has a total of 43 service requests on record, with the majority occurring in 2025-2026, including multiple graffiti removal requests (three in December 2025 and one in February 2026) and parking code enforcement reviews in April 2026. These recent incidents suggest ongoing maintenance challenges with building aesthetics and neighborhood interactions. Two building permits have been issued to the owner during this period, though specific details on their nature are not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 2453 N Milwaukee 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
