Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2818 N Spaulding Ave in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is a 1914 property currently owned by Juan Herrera. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows a total of six service requests directly related to the property, with Herrera's total portfolio across four parcels generating 21 service requests. The most significant concerns appear to be related to rodent issues, with two rat complaints recorded in early 2026 and January 2025 respectively, though both were subsequently closed. The property has also faced some infrastructure challenges, including a sewer cave-in inspection request in August 2024 and a street pothole complaint in September 2024, both of which were resolved. In early 2025, there were two tree trimming requests submitted, though it's worth noting that this particular request type is no longer being accepted. While the building has experienced multiple service requests over the past seven years, most have been addressed and closed through the appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 2818 N Spaulding 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.
