Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 1748 N Artesian Ave 2 in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, built in 1868 and currently owned by Juan L Alvarez, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the past year. The property has received a total of 14 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring between April and July 2025. During this period, there were multiple transportation-related concerns, including two sign repair requests on April 15 for a stop sign and one-way sign, and an inspect public way request on July 24, both of which remain unresolved. The building has also faced safety and accessibility issues, as evidenced by an open complaint regarding a viaduct light outage from January 30, 2026, and a previously closed complaint about uncleared snow on sidewalks from December 2025. Additionally, there were two isolated incidents involving public health and safety matters, including a dead animal pick-up request in May 2025, which was subsequently addressed. While the building has maintained regular occupancy over its long history, these recent service requests suggest ongoing challenges with building surroundings and public infrastructure in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1748 N Artesian Ave 2'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.
