Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2334 N Sawyer Ave in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood is a 1909 structure currently owned by Lester E Czernik. Over the past seven years, the property has maintained a relatively low number of official complaints and issues, with only one building violation recorded during this period. However, it's notable that this violation, documented on October 15, 2020, regarding permit-related inspection matters, remains open and unresolved as of the latest records. The building has generated a total of 15 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026, where multiple alley pothole complaints have been filed but remain open. While these initial pothole complaints are concerning, it's important to note that the majority of previous 311 requests, including those for blue recycling cart service, graffiti removal, and dead animal pick-up, have been appropriately closed out. The repair history is minimal, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, though the nature of the work requiring this permit is not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2334 N Sawyer 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.
