Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2869 W McLean Ave in Logan Square, owned by Don Hughes, is a 133-year-old property constructed in 1890. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced 42 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring in 2026, where multiple graffiti removal requests were filed between March and May, including one open sign repair request from April 2026. The property has had two environmental complaints in recent history: an asbestos work order that was resolved in May 2016, and a construction and demolition complaint that was addressed within two days in late 2025. An older air pollution work order was recorded in 1998, though this is considerably dated relative to the building's recent history. The building's service request patterns suggest recurring issues with graffiti in the immediate vicinity, particularly during 2026, while the environmental complaints indicate past concerns with hazardous materials and construction activities, though these were resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 2869 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
