AI summary

The 12-unit residential building at 2135 W Eastwood in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Jay Hausler and constructed in 1921, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there are currently five unresolved building code violations, with four of these documented on October 1, 2024, relating to complaint-driven inspections, and another recorded on February 23, 2026. The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, as evidenced by multiple rodent-related service requests, with three complaints logged in June 2026 alone, and previous reports dating back to late 2025. The property has encountered some seasonal maintenance issues, including two complaints about uncleared snow on sidewalks in late 2025 and early 2026. These recent violations and service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building safety and pest control, though it's worth noting that the majority of historical service requests (73 total under current ownership) are not directly cited in available records.

Risk rating

How 2135 W Eastwood 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

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.
