Initial analysis

The 27-unit building at 2647 N Laramie Avenue in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a 1933 construction currently owned by PMG. The property has a concerning record over the past seven years, with eight building violations documented, all of which relate to unresolved periodic routine inspections. These inspections were notably clustered on September 24, 2021, when multiple violations were recorded, along with another routine inspection violation that remains open as of April 3, 2023. The building's service request history shows minimal activity, with only two 311 reports in the past seven years - one related to cab feedback in January 2026 and another regarding fly dumping in August 2025, both of which have been closed. Historically, there is record of an illegal dumping complaint from November 2003, though this predates the current ownership and the seven-year analysis period. While the building's permit activity shows only one permit filed in the past seven years, the most pressing concern is the pattern of unresolved building violations, particularly from the 2021 inspections and the recent 2023 violation, which suggest ongoing compliance issues that remain unaddressed.

Risk rating

How 2647 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.
