Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 2455 N Lowell Ave in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Francesco Safilippo, has a relatively clean record going back seven years. Built in 1913, this property has only generated two 311 service requests during this period, both of which were resolved in 2026. The earlier of the two incidents was an abandoned vehicle complaint in April 2026, followed by a sign repair request in February of the same year. Notably, neither of these service requests was directly related to the building's condition or safety systems, and there are no recorded complaints or violations pertaining to the building structure, utilities, or tenant services. The property appears to have maintained a stable record with minimal need for municipal intervention, particularly when compared to typical urban multi-unit buildings.

Risk rating

How 2455 N Lowell Ave 5'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.

Neighborhood percentile
46thpercentile

Out of 1617 buildings in this neighborhood, 873 are predicted to be safer.
