Initial analysis

The 59-unit residential building at 2942 N Kolmar in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Kolmar Pacini LLC, has been standing since 1928. The property has a relatively active recent history, with multiple open and unresolved violations recorded in 2025, all categorized as Periodic Routine Inspections. Additionally, there is an open unresolved violation from November 2024 resulting from a complaint-driven inspection. The building has experienced two plumbing violations within a five-week period in late 2025, though these were subsequently closed. Service requests to 311 over the past seven years total 22, with the most recent activity in June 2026 concerning tree debris clean-up, with one request still open and another having been closed. Two abandoned vehicle complaints were recorded in December 2025, both of which have been resolved. The building's violation and service request record also includes a historical environmental complaint from 1998 related to recycling, though this is not pertinent to the current building condition evaluation.

Risk rating

How 2942 N Kolmar 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.
