Logan Square, Chicago IL None 13264220260000 20 units · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 20-unit residential building at 2530 N Kedzie in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, owned by Jose I Fernandez, has maintained minimal records over the past seven years, with only one building permit and one building violation noted during this period. The property dates back to 1900 and is part of a three-parcel ownership arrangement. While the building itself has relatively few documented issues, the surrounding infrastructure has experienced some challenges, particularly in the last two years. Between 2025 and 2026, there have been multiple reports of roadway maintenance issues in the vicinity, including four street pothole complaints and two alley pothole complaints, all of which were eventually resolved. Additionally, there was a graffiti removal request in May 2025 that was successfully addressed. The most recent concern, filed in June 2026, pertains to a damaged street light pole, which remains open as of the latest records, though this is an external infrastructure issue rather than a direct building concern. The limited number of 311 service requests directly related to the building itself (only 13) suggests that major building-specific issues may be relatively rare, though the proportionately higher number of complaints about external infrastructure (45 total owner service requests) indicates ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 2530 N Kedzie Chicago'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.
