Initial analysis

The 35-unit residential building at 2834 W Palmer in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, owned by Palmer Building I LLC, has been through limited documented incidents over the past seven years since 2016. The property's most significant official record is a building code violation from October 2019 related to a permit inspection, though this was subsequently resolved. The building has generated a total of six 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent cluster of three requests for dead animal pick-up services occurring in May 2026, while these requests were promptly closed. Other service requests included a building violation in November 2025, a sign repair request in August 2024, and a tree debris clean-up request in August 2024, all of which were also closed and indicate timely response to maintenance issues. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively few complaints or violations, with no major recurring issues identified, though the recent cluster of animal-related service requests in 2026 may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2834 W Palmer 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.

Neighborhood percentile
