Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2853 W McLean Ave in Logan Square, owned by Aida Luz Sanchez, has been documented through the Chicago Master Building Record since its construction in 1890. The property has experienced notable issues in recent months, particularly in early 2026, with multiple instances of graffiti requiring removal. Between February 24 and March 3, 2026, there were four separate graffiti removal requests, followed by a fifth request in March, all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there were two rodent-related service requests filed in May 2026 that have also been closed. While the building has had a relatively limited number of reported issues over the past seven years, with only 19 service requests on record, it's worth noting that the recent cluster of problems in 2026, particularly the pest control matters, may warrant attention. Historically, the only other documented concern was a noise complaint filed in April 1996, which appears to be unrelated to the current issues.

Risk rating

How 2853 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
