Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1923 residential building at 2543 N New England Ave in the Montclare neighborhood, currently owned by Antonio Lagunas, has a documented history of 26 building violations and 22 311 service requests over the past seven years. Most notably, in September 2022, there were six related building code violations recorded during a complaint-driven inspection, though all of these were subsequently resolved. The building's more recent service request history from April to June 2026 shows a pattern of sanitation-related concerns, with two sanitation code violations recorded, followed by multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (two complaints), and requests for weed removal and tree debris clean-up, all of which have been closed. While the building's violation history shows some recurring issues, it's worth noting that all documented building code violations were resolved, and the majority of service requests have been addressed or closed through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 2543 N New England Ave 1'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.

Neighborhood percentile
4thpercentile
