AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2604 N Sawyer Ave in Logan Square, owned by Eric Meyers, is a 124-year-old property that has experienced some concerning recent activity. Most notably, in April 2023, four complaint-driven violations were recorded that remain unresolved as of October 2023, representing the most significant recent issues on record. The building has also generated an unusually high number of 311 service requests in 2026, totaling six graffiti removal requests between February and March, indicating a pattern of vandalism in the immediate vicinity. Additional 311 service requests from 2026 include a street light outage in March and a water-related issue in May, both of which have been resolved. While the building has maintained all standard records showing one total parcel and matching units, the combination of unresolved violations and recent service requests suggests potential challenges in property maintenance and neighborhood conditions, though it's important to note that the frequency of graffiti-related issues appears to be more related to the surrounding area than direct property concerns.

Risk rating

How 2604 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.
