Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2708 N Artesian Ave 1 in Logan Square, owned by Ruben Salazar, has been subject to several concerning issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently eight unresolved building code violations, with six of these stemming from periodic routine inspections conducted on May 24, 2022, and one from a complaint-driven inspection in July 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved issues that may affect resident comfort and safety. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests, with 32 total requests under the owner's name over the past seven years, though only five are directly related to the building itself. Recent service requests from 2025-2026 primarily concern tree-related issues (three tree inspection or debris removal requests) and potentially more serious concerns like a water leak inspection request in December 2025, which remains open alongside three tree-related matters. While the building's age (1903) is typical for the neighborhood, the combination of multiple open violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 2708 N Artesian Ave 1'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.
