Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2923 N Springfield Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a 125-year-old property built in 1898, currently owned by Solaria Holdings 2923. The building's recent history over the past seven years shows relatively few major issues, with only one documented building code violation from March 2022 that remains open and unresolved, suggesting a potentially ongoing concern requiring attention. The property has generated five 311 service requests since 2024, with the most recent being a no water complaint in October 2025. Other service requests have ranged from infrastructure issues (potholes, street conditions) to quality of life matters (tree maintenance, rodent control), all of which have been resolved. While the number of service requests isn't excessively high for a building of this age, the combination of an open building code violation and recent water-related issues warrants attention, though it's worth noting that most recorded issues have been addressed through normal municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 2923 N Springfield 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
