Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2727 N Hamlin Ave in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, owned by Jason Esterl, has been standing since 1909. The property is part of a larger three-parcel ownership, which has generated an unusually high number of 311 service requests over the past seven years, totaling 40 across all three parcels. However, the specific building at 2727 N Hamlin records only two complaints in the same period, both related to garbage cart maintenance, which were recently addressed and closed in June 2024. The significant disparity between the total service requests and those specifically attributed to this address suggests that the majority of the service requests may pertain to the other parcels owned by Esterl, rather than this particular building. While the recent garbage cart maintenance issues have been resolved promptly, the building's historical service request record shows minimal maintenance or service issues directly related to the property itself, with the most recent complaints being routine waste management matters.

Risk rating

How 2727 N Hamlin 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.
