Initial analysis

The three-story brick building at 2000 N Sawyer in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, constructed in 1896, is a seven-unit property currently owned by HTK Properties Inc. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of unresolved code violations, with two open complaint-driven inspections from October 2020 and one routine inspection violation from May 2021 that remain active. These unresolved violations could potentially impact resident safety and comfort. The property has generated a total of 13 service requests through Chicago's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent issues occurring in early 2026. These service requests include multiple graffiti removal efforts, a water lead test kit request that is still open, a leak check that has been resolved, and a snow removal complaint about an uncleared sidewalk from December 2025. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple instances requiring city intervention for various issues, though many of these service requests have been properly addressed and closed out.

Risk rating

How 2000 N Sawyer Chicago'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.
