Initial analysis

The 14-unit residential building at 2735 N Laramie in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by James Mazzanti, was constructed in 1928. The property has recently faced several significant issues, with the most pressing concerns being three unresolved building code violations stemming from periodic routine inspections in December 2025 and a complaint-driven inspection from July 2019. The building's maintenance history over the past seven years shows a total of 17 service requests through the 311 system, including a recent no water complaint in March 2026 and a plumbing violation in December 2025, both of which have been resolved. Additional municipal service requests from 2025 include multiple street light-related complaints (October and November), a tree planting request (still open as of August 2025), and a resolved pothole complaint (May 2025). While there has been only one building permit filed in the past seven years, the concentration of recent service requests and unresolved violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the property, particularly regarding building systems and infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 2735 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.
