Initial analysis

The property at 2342 N Austin Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a two-unit residential building, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Santiago Armenta. The building's recorded service history over the past seven years shows a total of 17 311 service requests, with a notable concentration of reports related to street maintenance issues. Most recently, there have been multiple pothole complaints both on the street (April 2026) and in the alley (January 2026), with at least two of these requests remaining open as of April 2026. Between 2025 and 2026, the property had some service requests involving external matters, including a closed building violation complaint from October 2025 and an inaccurate fuel pump complaint from the same month. While the building's 311 service request history shows relatively low activity for a property of its age and size, the recent pattern of street-related complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure maintenance issues in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2342 N Austin 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
