Initial analysis

The 7-unit residential building at 2444 N Laramie in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Building Laramie LLC, has been in operation since 1968 and has experienced several concerning trends in recent years. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 17 service requests through the 311 system, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring in early 2026. Notably, February 2026 saw three nuisance animal complaints filed within a short period, followed by a rodent-related complaint in early February and another in January, as well as a separate rodent complaint in October 2025. The building has consistently faced pest-related challenges, with multiple documented instances of rodent issues and animal complaints, particularly during the winter months. While all reported complaints have been marked as closed, the repeated nature of these issues suggests an ongoing concern with building maintenance and pest control that could impact resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 2444 N Laramie 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.
