Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2433 N Central Ave 1 in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Lisa J Gruber, has been the subject of several notable incidents in recent months. Most significantly, on April 5, 2024, the property received multiple complaint-driven inspections, resulting in three resolved violations while leaving three open violations that remain unresolved as of this report's date in October 2023. These recent enforcement actions indicate some ongoing compliance issues that may affect resident safety and comfort. In addition, the property has generated two 311 service requests in 2024, including a building violation report in April and a dead animal pick-up request in August, both of which have since been resolved, though the nature of these issues suggests attention to sanitation and maintenance matters. Looking at the broader seven-year history of the property, there have been a total of five building violations and two 311 service requests on record, though the most pressing current concerns appear to center around the recent April 2024 violations rather than any cumulative pattern of long-term problems. The building, constructed in 1930, has a single parcel under its current ownership.

Risk rating

How 2433 N Central Ave 1'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.
