Belmont Cragin, Chicago IL 60707 13312090190000 6 units · 1929

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit apartment building at 2201 N Nagle Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Carolyn L Brown, has experienced a notably high frequency of plumbing-related issues in recent months, with three separate plumbing violation complaints filed between September and December 2024, all of which have since been closed. This cluster of plumbing issues suggests a potentially persistent problem with the building's water and waste systems. In addition to these plumbing violations, there was one street light outage complaint in September 2024 that was also resolved. While the building has only recorded four 311 service requests in the past seven years, it's significant to note that all recent complaints have been related to plumbing, representing a concentrated pattern of maintenance issues particularly in the latter half of 2024. The building, constructed in 1929, is over 90 years old and may require ongoing attention to its infrastructure systems.

Risk rating

How 2201 N Nagle 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.

Neighborhood percentile
25thpercentile

Out of 4453 buildings in this neighborhood, 3340 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
