Initial analysis

This six-unit residential building, located at 2912 N Milwaukee Ave in the Avondale neighborhood, was constructed in 1903 and is currently owned by Lynn Basa. The property has a relatively limited record of service requests and complaints over the past seven years, with a total of 14 311 service requests and one environmental complaint. The most recent service requests in 2026 indicate some ongoing issues with graffiti, as three separate requests for removal were filed in January and February of that year, following a similar request in May 2025. There has also been one fly dumping complaint in April 2026, and a street light out complaint in March 2025, though all of these issues were marked as closed in the response system.

Risk rating

How 2912 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

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
13thpercentile
