Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2055 N Lawndale Ave in Logan Square, owned by Anton Kogan, has generated 13 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent set of complaints occurring in 2025-2026. The property, dating back to 1905, has experienced recurring issues with water management and winter maintenance, as evidenced by multiple complaints about water on the street (two incidents in early 2026) and several snow-related problems including uncleared sidewalks (December 2025 and February 2025). Of particular concern is the ongoing water quality monitoring, with an active water lead test kit request from October 2025 and a tree removal inspection request from June 2026. While these service requests span various municipal departments, the concentration of water-related issues and winter maintenance complaints suggests consistent challenges in these areas. The building's service request history shows relatively low overall activity for a multi-unit property, but the specific nature of recent complaints indicates some environmental and maintenance concerns that may affect resident experience.

Risk rating

How 2055 N Lawndale 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.
