Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2718 N Lawndale Ave 1 in Logan Square, owned by Roger Stelzer, is a 1903 construction with minimal documented activity over the past seven years. The building's record shows only one building permit issued during this period, which is notably low for a property of this age. The 311 service request history for the property consists of three entries, all from 2026, with two related to street conditions (pothole complaints) and one concerning yard waste pick-up. Of particular note is one of the pothole complaints, which remains open as of now. The limited number of service requests and permits might suggest either stable building conditions or potentially indicate minimal engagement with city services, though no definitive conclusions can be drawn from the available data alone.

Risk rating

How 2718 N Lawndale Ave 1'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
