Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 2046 N Milwaukee Ave in Logan Square, owned by Miguel Fons, has a notable history since its construction in 1874. The property has experienced various compliance issues, with a total of eight building code violations recorded over the past seven years. A cluster of permit-related violations in September 2019 stands out, with most being resolved, though two remain open and unresolved. More recently, the building underwent a periodic routine inspection in November 2021 that resulted in compliance. The property has generated 22 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent occurring in May 2026 regarding a public way inspection. A notable pattern of issues emerged in early 2025, with three consecutive graffiti removal requests between February and June 2025, all of which were successfully addressed. The building's record shows regular maintenance activity, as evidenced by multiple resolved service requests, though the presence of open violations from 2019 suggests there are still outstanding compliance issues that require attention.

Risk rating

How 2046 N Milwaukee 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.
