Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2537 N Kildare Ave in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Nicole Suarez, has been experiencing persistent regulatory challenges over the past seven years. Built in 1908, this property has accumulated a total of 10 building code violations during this period, with the most concerning being multiple unresolved complaint-driven inspections in March 2023 and another open violation from June 2025. These open violations indicate ongoing compliance issues that remain unaddressed. The building has also seen seven 311 service requests in this timeframe, with the most recent being a building violation and a no building permit complaint in 2025, the latter remaining open as of the latest records. While several past service requests have been resolved, including complaints about abandoned vehicles and rodent issues, the persistence of open violations and complaints suggests continuing challenges with building compliance and maintenance. The property’s violation and service request history, particularly the multiple unresolved issues from 2023 and 2025, warrants attention to the building's current condition and maintenance practices.

Risk rating

How 2537 N Kildare 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.
