Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2152 N Leclaire Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by M Williams and J Snider, has been in existence since 1913 and has experienced several notable maintenance and quality of life issues over the past seven years. Most concerning are three rodent-related incidents (bating/rat complaints) that occurred in late 2025, suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge. The property has also required multiple garbage cart maintenance interventions, with two such requests recorded in 2025 alone, indicating potential waste management system issues. Other reported concerns include a street light outage (September 2025) and a tree trimming request (October 2025), though the latter request type is no longer being accepted. The building has generated a total of eight 311 service requests over the past seven years, all of which have been resolved, and has secured three building permits during this period. While the resolution of these service requests is positive, the frequency of recent complaints related to waste management and pest control warrants attention to the building's current maintenance conditions.

Risk rating

How 2152 N Leclaire 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

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.
