Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building at 2417 N California Ave in Logan Square, owned by Gimi Ramos, was constructed in 1911 and has recently shown some concerning patterns in its maintenance record. The most significant cluster of violations occurred in February 2022, when six complaint-driven inspections resulted in building code violations, though it's worth noting that all of these violations were eventually complied with and resolved. Looking at more recent property history, the building has experienced recurring issues with exterior lighting, with three street light outage complaints filed between June 2025 and March 2026. The property has also seen vegetation maintenance requests, with two tree trim requests made in January 2026, though these requests are no longer being accepted by the city. Between 2024 and 2026, there has been one recycling pick-up request, which was appropriately closed. While the building has experienced multiple service requests and violations over the past several years, the fact that these issues have been resolved through compliance indicates an ability to address problems as they arise.

Risk rating

How 2417 N California 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.
