AI summary

The four-unit building at 2501 N Newland Ave 1W in Montclare, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by James Cordero, has had limited documented service requests over the past seven years. The property has experienced two sewer-related incidents in August 2025, with both sewer cleaning inspection requests having been resolved, though the specific nature of the resolution is not detailed in the records. A sanitation code violation occurred in May 2024, but this issue was also subsequently closed. Most recently, there is an open public way inspection request from June 2026 through the Chicago Department of Transportation, though this request's connection to the building's residential condition or services is unclear. While the building's service request history is relatively minimal, the available records primarily show infrastructure-related concerns rather than direct impacts on residential services or safety.

Risk rating

How 2501 N Newland Ave 1W'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.
