Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2926 N Broadway St in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by GB Property Management Inc., has been standing since 1927. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 25 service requests through the city's 311 system, with all issues being resolved and marked as closed. The most recent cluster of complaints occurred in May 2026, when five separate incidents were reported within a single month, including sanitation code violations and two requests for graffiti removal. Additionally, the property has experienced recurring concerns related to nearby commercial activities, with complaints about sidewalk cafes/outdoor dining and restaurant operations. An e-scooter parking complaint was also logged during this period. While all these issues have been addressed according to city records, the recent concentration of complaints in May 2026, particularly regarding sanitation and graffiti, may warrant attention to the surrounding area's maintenance conditions, though it's notable that these issues primarily concerned external areas rather than the residential building itself.

Risk rating

How 2926 N Broadway St'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.
