Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2646 N Oak Park Ave in the Montclare neighborhood, owned by Paulo Rocha, has been standing since 1925 and has accumulated a number of notable records over recent years. Most significantly, there are four unresolved building code violations recorded on September 12, 2019, stemming from a complaint-driven inspection, which remain open as of the most recent records available. The property has also experienced a surge in recent activity regarding water safety concerns, with two open requests for Water Lead Test Kits in June 2026, suggesting ongoing environmental health monitoring. Additionally, there were several service requests in 2025, including two tree removal inspections (one initiated by Streets and Sanitation and another by the Alderman's office), as well as a request for a blue recycling cart and a pet wellness check request, all of which were successfully closed. While the water safety testing requests in 2026 and the tree-related issues in 2025 indicate regular municipal engagement, the persistence of the 2019 building code violations warrants attention as the most significant unresolved issue on record for this property.

Risk rating

How 2646 N Oak Park 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.
