Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2943 N Milwaukee Ave in Avondale, owned by JEK ENTERPRISES LLC, is a 1911 structure that has experienced several documented incidents over the past seven years. Notably, there is an open building code violation from May 2021 related to a permit-related inspection that remains unresolved. The property has generated a total of seven 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in late 2025, including three complaints (business and restaurant-related) and two graffiti removal requests, all of which have been closed. Prior to these 2025 incidents, there was a sanitation code violation recorded in June 2024. The property records show minimal building permit activity during this period, with only one permit filed for the building itself and another for the owner's total parcels. While the frequency of service requests appears to have increased in recent years, with multiple incidents clustered in 2024-2025, the total number of building violations and permits remains relatively low, though the unresolved violation from 2021 warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 2943 N Milwaukee 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.
