Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2926 N Sawyer Ave in Avondale, owned by Andrea Valero, is a well-established property dating back to 1908. The building's recent service history over the past seven years shows a relatively low frequency of issues, with a total of 10 service requests being made through the city's 311 system. The majority of these recent requests, all of which have been resolved, pertained to routine municipal services rather than building-specific problems. These included three yard waste pick-up requests (most recently in May 2026), two pothole complaints in the street (in December 2025 and April 2026), and one parking code enforcement review (in June 2025). The consistent pattern of yard waste service requests suggests regular home maintenance by the current residents, though it's worth noting that all reported issues have been external to the building itself and primarily related to public infrastructure and municipal services.

Risk rating

How 2926 N Sawyer Ave 2'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.
