Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2509 W Diversey Ave in Logan Square, currently owned by Jester Properties LLC, was constructed in 1910 and has maintained its original two-parcel layout. Over the past seven years, the property has generated minimal service requests and permit activity, with only two building permits recorded during this period. The service requests associated with this address have been exclusively related to street maintenance issues, specifically potholes, with two complaints filed in February 2025, both of which have been resolved. It's worth noting that while the property has a recorded history of 12 service requests under the owner's name, these appear to be primarily concentrated on municipal infrastructure issues outside the building's direct management purview. The limited number of building permits and service requests, combined with the age of the structure, suggests relatively stable building conditions, though the data does not provide comprehensive insights into the property's complete maintenance history or current state.

Risk rating

How 2509 W Diversey 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.
