Initial analysis

The 20-unit residential building at 2042 W. Irving Park Road in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Rosemary Banks, appears to be a newly constructed property from 2024. The building's records over the past seven years indicate some concerning issues, particularly in early 2026, when multiple complaints and violations were documented. Notably, on February 3, 2026, two complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded that remain unresolved. These violations were preceded by a series of plumbing and building violations in January 2026, with six service requests logged between January 28 and February 4, all of which have since been closed, though some involved more serious plumbing issues. The building's permit history shows only three permits issued in the seven-year period, and while there have been two building violations overall in the past seven years, the most significant recent patterns involve the early 2026 plumbing and building violation incidents, which may impact resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 2042 W. Irving Park Road'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.
