AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 2644 N Sawyer Ave in Logan Square, owned by Clemencia Garcia, has a mixed record over the past seven years. Most notably, there are currently two unresolved building code violations that emerged in December 2023, which is particularly concerning given their recent nature and potential impact on resident safety. The building has experienced minimal formal complaints, with only two building violations recorded in the past seven years, though it's worth noting that the owner has generated a significant number of service requests (39 in total) across four parcels owned. These requests span various issues, including one related to finance parking code enforcement in April 2026, an uncleared sidewalk complaint from December 2025, and a now-inactive tree trimming request from March 2025. The building's permit activity has been limited to just one building permit in the past seven years, suggesting minimal structural modifications or improvements during this period. While the property has received some attention regarding maintenance and code compliance, particularly in recent months, the open building code violations from December 2023 should be monitored for resolution.

Risk rating

How 2644 N Sawyer 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
