AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2839 N Central Park Avenue in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a 129-year-old property owned by Robert Chandler, with records showing ownership of two parcels. The building's documented history over the past seven years is minimal, with only two recorded 311 service requests in the current year of 2025, both related to street sanitation maintenance - specifically, a blue recycling cart and a garbage cart maintenance issue. These recent service requests, which have both been resolved, represent routine municipal maintenance matters and do not indicate any significant building-specific concerns. The property's historical record shows no documented safety violations, major repairs, or other notable incidents, suggesting a relatively stable property condition. The building's age and unit count are consistent with typical housing stock in the Avondale neighborhood, which has undergone various transformations since its 19th-century origins.

Risk rating

How 2839 N Central Park 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.

Neighborhood percentile
