Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2233 W Cullom Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Julie Greenberg, dates back to 1893 and has had very limited documented issues over its 130-year history. The most recent records show a cluster of infrastructure-related complaints between 2025-2026, including multiple pothole complaints in both the street and alley (three reported cases), two tree emergencies in 2025, and a street light outage in March 2026, all of which have been resolved according to the records. These issues appear to be municipal infrastructure concerns rather than building-specific problems, and there are no recorded tenant complaints or building code violations in recent years. The only environmental complaint on record was logged in 1994 regarding hazardous materials, but there are no subsequent reports or mentioned follow-up actions, suggesting it was likely resolved without incident. The building's recent service history indicates minimal maintenance needs, with the vast majority of documented service requests relating to external street infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2233 W Cullom 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

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.
