Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2741 N Ridgeway Ave 2 in Logan Square, owned by Randy Sheridan, is a 1904 structure that has maintained relatively good regulatory standing over the past seven years. The property has received minimal building code violations, with only one permitted-related inspection violation recorded in December 2021, which has since been resolved. The building's maintenance and community engagement record shows seven 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the majority (five) related to garbage cart maintenance and recycling issues between 2024-2025, including two requests for garbage cart maintenance and one for a blue recycling cart in December 2024. Other community-related requests include a tree planting request in October 2025 and a fly dumping complaint in April 2026. While the garbage-related issues suggest some challenges with waste management systems around the property, it's worth noting that these matters were promptly addressed, as indicated by their closed status. The owner, Randy Sheridan, has three total parcels under their name, with a notably higher count of 45 311 service requests across all properties in the past seven years, though the majority of these (39) were related to Evans Village, which is another property under the same ownership.

Risk rating

How 2741 N Ridgeway 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

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.
