2100 W Irving Park Rd

North Center, Chicago IL 60618 14183290420000 4 units · 1908

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2100 W Irving Park Rd in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Bobby Burleson, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1908. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced some concerning issues, with one notable open violation recorded in July 2024 regarding unauthorized construction work and building permits. The building has also amassed two building violations during this period, though specific details on these infractions are not provided in the records. The 311 service request history for the property shows a pattern of infrastructure-related problems in the surrounding area, particularly regarding road conditions, with multiple reports of potholes in the alley and street between 2024 and 2026. While most of these complaints have been addressed and closed, as of June 2026, there remains one open alley pothole complaint. A rodent-related complaint was filed in November 2025, which has since been resolved.

Risk rating

How 2100 W Irving Park Rd'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.
