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.

Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 2530 N Kedzie building in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood is a 20-unit property constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Jose I Fernandez. The building's record over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity regarding major incidents or violations, with just one building violation and two building permits on file. The property has generated a total of 18 service requests through the city's 311 system, though there appears to be a discrepancy as the owner's total 311 service requests are recorded as 87, which suggests that may include other properties or be an error in the system.

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.

Neighborhood percentile
4thpercentile
