Initial analysis

The 9-unit residential building at 2720 N Linder in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Herbert Garcia, has been standing since 1927 and has generated a total of 8 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of issues occurred in 2026, with three separate incidents in May and June, including a water issue on the street, a city vehicle sticker violation, and an open complaint about an abandoned vehicle. Prior to this, in 2025, there were two parking-related enforcement reviews conducted through the finance department, along with a sewer cleaning inspection request in May 2026. While the building's age and history suggest it has been maintained over time, the recent concentration of service requests in 2026, particularly regarding street and parking issues, may warrant attention to the surrounding infrastructure and parking management in the area.

Risk rating

How 2720 N Linder 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

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.
