Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2854 N Woodard St 1 in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a 130-year-old property currently owned by Pedro Hernandez. The building's recent history shows relatively few major issues, with only one building violation recorded in the past seven years, though notably, this violation from June 28, 2021, remains unresolved as of the latest records. The property has generated a moderate number of 311 service requests over the past seven years, totaling 10. More significant is the owner's aggregate record across nine parcels, which shows a total of 54 service requests, though many of these (specifically six in July 2025 and three in March 2026) are related to tree removal and inspection issues, suggesting some ongoing vegetation management concerns in the vicinity. Two of these tree-related requests were classified as emergencies, indicating potentially urgent situations requiring immediate attention. While the building has had one documented building permit in the past seven years, the limited number of both building violations and service requests relative to its age and size could be seen as relatively positive, though the presence of an open permit-related violation should be noted.

Risk rating

How 2854 N Woodard St 1'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.

Neighborhood percentile
24thpercentile
