Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 1894 brick building at 2418 W North Ave in Wicker Park, currently owned by 2418 NORTH AVE LLC, has a mixed record of maintenance and resident concerns over the past seven years. Most notably, there is an unresolved permit-related inspection violation recorded in June 2025, representing the only current open code violation, while a previous permit-related inspection violation from March 2025 has been resolved. The building has experienced significant sanitation challenges recently, particularly in the winter months of 2026, with multiple rodent baiting requests (both through Alderman's office and 311 City Services) and sanitation code violations reported in January 2026. While these recent issues have been addressed through appropriate closures, they indicate a period of concerning pest and sanitation management challenges. The property has also required graffiti removal services twice in the past two years (November 2025 and April 2026), though these aesthetic issues are generally less impactful than the building's other documented concerns. The only other recorded environmental complaint dates back to 2001, related to service stations/storage tanks, but this appears to be an isolated incident from over two decades ago.

Risk rating

How 2418 W North 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
15thpercentile

Out of 1722 buildings in this neighborhood, 1464 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
