Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2344 W Cullom Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Jean Chen, has a notable pattern of recent building code violations and service requests, particularly concentrated in 2024-2025. Three open complaint-driven building code violations are currently unresolved, dating from March to September 2025, which raises concerns about ongoing compliance with building standards. The property has also generated multiple service requests in 2025 alone, including two building violations and a plumbing issue in July, suggesting multiple instances of maintenance or regulatory concerns. Additional service requests during this period included business complaints and an abandoned vehicle complaint, all of which have been closed, though it's worth noting that the resolution of these issues doesn't necessarily correlate with the building's condition or compliance status. The building's history over the past seven years shows no recorded violations or service requests prior to 2024, indicating that the current cluster of issues is a relatively recent development for this 1915 structure.

Risk rating

How 2344 W Cullom Ave 1St'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.
