Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 2120 N Lockwood Ave in Belmont Cragin, owned by Metropolitan B & T, has been facing a series of ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly in recent years. The property, constructed in 1907, has accumulated a notable record of open building code violations, with four unresolved complaint-driven inspections recorded in October 2024 and another open violation from July 2023. The building's history over the past seven years shows a total of 16 building violations and 26 service requests associated with the owner, indicating an average of more than two incidents per year. Recent service requests have included multiple reports of leaks in early 2026 (two in February, one in May), graffiti removal requests in December 2025, and a blue recycling cart request in May 2026. While there was one environmental complaint about illegal dumping in March 2025, this was investigated and found to be unsubstantiated.
How 2120 N Lockwood 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
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.
Out of 4437 buildings in this neighborhood, 4260 are predicted to be safer.
