Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2524 N Sawyer Ave in Logan Square is a 136-year-old property owned by Sheldon W Liebman. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal service requests and complaints, with only two 311 service requests in 2026 and one environmental complaint in 2022. The most recent incidents involved city services addressing a water issue on the street in April 2026 and a tree emergency in March 2026, both of which were closed after resolution. The environmental issue, recorded in October 2022, pertained to asbestos and was promptly addressed and resolved within five days. While the building has experienced these isolated incidents, the relatively low number of service requests and complaints over this extended period suggests limited recurring issues, though the age of the property and the nature of the environmental complaint warrant attention to proper documentation and remediation procedures.

Risk rating

How 2524 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

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.
