Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2518 N Talman Ave in Logan Square, owned by ABMR LLC and constructed in 1910, has experienced a notable cluster of issues over the past two years, particularly in 2024. This property has accumulated 13 building violations and 34 service requests in the past seven years, with the majority of recent activity centered around building safety concerns. Most pressing are the repeated water-related issues, with significant problems documented in basement conditions (evidenced by multiple 311 service requests in 2024 and a violation in August 2024), and a concerning pattern of complaint-driven inspections, with four violations recorded in September 2024 alone - all of which were subsequently resolved.

Risk rating

How 2518 N Talman 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
3rdpercentile
