Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1890-built property at 2620 W Cortland St in Logan Square, currently managed by Fredrick R Ochwat Trust, has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only one 311 service request and one environmental complaint logged during this period. The most recent issue, filed on January 26, 2025, pertains to a sidewalk inspection that remains open as of this report. Prior to that, an environmental complaint was made on May 31, 2024, regarding construction and demolition activities, though this was investigated and resolved within just a few days (by June 3, 2024) with no violations found. Given the building's age and the limited number of complaints or service requests on record, the property appears to be generally well-maintained, though the open sidewalk inspection request merits attention to determine its current status.

Risk rating

How 2620 W Cortland St'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.
