Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2848 N Neva Ave in the Montclare neighborhood, owned by Margaret D Bynes, has experienced several concerning issues recently, particularly regarding water-related problems. Most notably, there are two ongoing water-related concerns as of 2025: an open water quality complaint and a request for a water lead test kit from May 2025. The building also experienced a basement water issue in December 2025, for which a complaint was filed and subsequently closed. In addition to water-related matters, there have been multiple complaints about abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with three such reports filed between April and December 2025, though all of these have been closed. The property has had minimal official documentation in the past seven years, with only one building permit recorded and a total of ten 311 service requests. While most of the complaints have been resolved, the ongoing water-related issues, particularly concerning water quality and lead testing, warrant attention as they may impact resident health and safety.

Risk rating

How 2848 N Neva 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.
