Belmont Cragin, Chicago IL 60639 13283070350000 3 units · 1971

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2712 N Laramie Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Laramie Karka LLC, has experienced a relatively low volume of service activity over the past seven years, with only one recorded 311 service request in 2025. However, the property has accumulated a total of nine building violations during this period, suggesting some regulatory compliance issues, though the specific nature and resolution status of these violations is not detailed in the available data. The building, constructed in 1971, has three total parcels under its ownership, and while there have been 19 total 311 service requests logged for this property, the majority of these have occurred prior to 2025, with the most recent being a finance parking code enforcement review from March 2025. The relatively low frequency of recent service requests and violations compared to prior years could indicate improved property management, though the available data doesn't specify whether these issues have been consistently addressed or if some remain outstanding.

Risk rating

How 2712 N Laramie 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

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
