Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2101 N Laporte Ave in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Margarita H Calderon, has been standing since 1914 and has generated a notable number of service requests in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 47 service requests recorded under the owner's name, with the majority (or more than 85%) occurring in the recent months of 2026. The most recent and nearly exclusive pattern of complaints involves multiple pothole-related issues, with seven such requests logged between late March and mid-May 2026, of which three remain unresolved. The volume and concentration of these street-related complaints suggest a persistent infrastructure issue in the immediate vicinity of the property, though it's worth noting that these street maintenance concerns, while impacting access to the building, are related to public infrastructure rather than the building's internal conditions or management. The age of the building and the two-unit configuration are consistent with typical structures in this Chicago neighborhood from the early 20th century.

Risk rating

How 2101 N Laporte 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.
