Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2959 N Avers Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Rene Lopez, was constructed in 1909 and has had a total of 13 service requests logged through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. The building's most recent documented issues, all from 2026, primarily involved infrastructure and safety concerns, including two stop sign repair requests and multiple graffiti removal requests. A tree emergency was reported and addressed in November 2025. While the frequency of service requests is noteworthy, it's important to note that all recorded issues have been resolved (status: closed). The building's relatively low number of total units (2) and service requests (13 over 7 years) suggests limited ongoing maintenance issues, though the nature of the requests indicates periodic attention to both safety signage and aesthetic concerns in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2959 N Avers 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.
