Initial analysis

The property at 2139 W Cuyler Ave in North Center is a two-unit residential building owned by Marne D Turner, dating back to 1903. The building's documented history over the past seven years reveals several concerning patterns, most notably three open violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections in November 2019, which remain unresolved as of the latest available data. The property has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues, as evidenced by four 311 service requests in recent years, including a tree emergency (April 2026), rodent infestation (September 2025), sanitation code violation (August 2025), and an injured animal report (October 2024), all of which have been closed, though the rodent issue was only addressed in 2025, suggesting it may have persisted for some time. The building's records show a combination of unresolved violations and various service requests that, while all now closed, indicate ongoing maintenance and safety challenges within the property and its immediate environment.

Risk rating

How 2139 W Cuyler 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.
