Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2145 N Lorel Ave in Belmont Cragin, owned by Victor Guzman, was constructed in 1908 and has had a relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling four municipal service calls. The most recent service requests in 2026 and 2025 involved standard municipal services including garbage cart maintenance and street cleaning, both of which were successfully resolved. Notably, there was a rodent baiting/rat complaint in July 2025, though it appears to be an isolated incident given the age of the building and its location in a historically urbanized area. The property also had a parking code enforcement review in July 2024 that was completed, though without additional details on the specific nature of the review. Prior to this period, there was an invalid noise complaint filed in 2020 that was resolved by July of that year. The building's service request history suggests regular urban maintenance issues rather than any pattern of resident safety concerns or systemic building problems.

Risk rating

How 2145 N Lorel 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.
