Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building located at 2840 W McLean Ave in Logan Square, owned by GAMAKOR LLC, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1890. The property's maintenance and incident report show a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of nine 311 service calls recorded. Recent activity (2025-2026) indicates a recurring issue with graffiti in the vicinity, with three documented removal requests in April 2026 and one in April 2025. The building has also experienced safety-related concerns, with two reports of alley lighting issues in August 2025 that were handled by the Department of Transportation. On a more health-related note, there was one request for a water lead test kit in September 2025, suggesting a proactive approach to water safety concerns. While the service request history suggests periodic maintenance needs, especially regarding exterior cleanliness and lighting, the relatively small number of incidents over this extended period indicates that significant systemic issues or emergencies have not been a regular feature of this property's recent history.

Risk rating

How 2840 W Mclean 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.

Neighborhood percentile
74thpercentile
