Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2831 N Avers Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, owned by Avers 0820 LLC, has been standing since 1908 and has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. The property has documented two building code violations, one of which from June 2020 remains unresolved, while another from August 2020 related to permit inspections was eventually resolved. In terms of maintenance and public health concerns, the building recently had a rodent issue addressed in July 2024 through a closed service request for rodent baiting, though this indicates there may have been previous pest control challenges. The building's documented permit history shows two permits issued in the past seven years, though the specific nature and outcomes of these permits are not detailed in the records. The relatively low number of violations and service requests over this extended period suggests a generally stable building condition, though the outstanding violation from 2020 and the recent pest issue warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2831 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.
