Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 26-unit residential building at 2018 W Berwyn in the Lincoln Square neighborhood, built in 1928 and currently owned by Hayes Properties Inc, has experienced a relatively stable record over the past seven years, though there are some concerning recent developments. Most notably, there is an unresolved building violation as of February 2026 that emerged following a complaint-driven inspection. The property has generated an unusually high number of service requests under the current ownership, with 676 recorded 311 service requests compared to just 9 at the building level, suggesting that many of these requests are property-wide or related to multiple buildings. The most recent cluster of service requests from 2025 includes three building-related complaints, though all were ultimately closed. Other notable service requests include a rodent-related complaint in January 2023 and an abandoned vehicle report in March 2023, both of which have been resolved. The building's permit activity is limited, with only five permits issued in the past seven years, and there has been one environmental enforcement case and one environmental complaint recorded, though the nature and resolution of these cases is not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2018 W Berwyn Chicago'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
8thpercentile

Out of 2578 buildings in this neighborhood, 2372 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
