Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2555 N Rutherford Ave, located in Chicago's Montclare neighborhood, is a 1963 structure currently owned by Joel Rivera. Over the past seven years, the property has generated ten 311 service requests, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in early 2026. This more recent period shows a notable pattern of abandoned vehicle complaints, with four such incidents reported between January and February 2026. Additionally, in January 2026, there was a request for a blue recycling cart, one of the few service requests related to regular municipal services rather than safety or maintenance concerns. Prior to this, in the third quarter of 2025, there was one service request regarding tree debris clean-up and one call to 311 for information purposes. Given that the majority of recent service requests relate to abandoned vehicle complaints, it's worth noting that these incidents occurred outside the building property itself, suggesting the vehicles were likely located on the street or adjacent public spaces.

Risk rating

How 2555 N Rutherford 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

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.
