Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2018 W Waveland Ave 2, located in Chicago's North Center neighborhood and constructed in 1908, is currently owned by Scott & Eleanor Yonan. The property has had five documented 311 service requests over the past seven years, all of which have been resolved and closed. The most recent request, from June 2026, involved tree debris clean-up, while the second most recent request in July 2025 was for a water lead test kit, which is particularly noteworthy given the ongoing concerns about water quality in urban areas. Other resolved service requests include two for blue recycling cart services (one in March 2024 and another in November 2024), and one for garbage cart maintenance (June 2024). While the number of service requests is relatively low for a seven-year period, the type of requests suggests regular attention to waste management and environmental maintenance, with the water lead testing request standing out as a significant health-related measure.

Risk rating

How 2018 W Waveland Ave 2'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.

Neighborhood percentile
