Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2500 N Oak Park Ave, owned by Matthew Paloian and located in the Montclare neighborhood, was constructed in 1959 and has experienced a moderately active maintenance and service request history over the past seven years. The most pressing current concern is an open request for a water lead test kit from June 2026, which warrants monitoring for potential health implications. The property has had multiple lighting issues in the vicinity, with two consecutive alley light out complaints in late 2025 and one more recent report in early 2026, though these have been resolved. The building's surroundings have required various public maintenance interventions, including a tree removal inspection in September 2025 and a street pothole complaint in April 2026, both of which were closed. Additionally, there was a report of graffiti that was addressed and closed in March 2026. While the building has had some maintenance requests, the nature of these issues appears to be primarily related to exterior and municipal services rather than building-specific problems, though the open water lead test request is a notable exception.

Risk rating

How 2500 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.
