Initial analysis

The five-unit, three-story residential building at 2917 N Halsted St in Lake View, owned by TMB Properties, has been standing since 1898. The property has recorded two building code violations in the past seven years, both stemming from complaint-driven inspections on July 27, 2020, which remain unresolved as of October 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a total of 14 owner-related service requests over the past seven years, with many pertaining to sanitation issues - including two sanitation code violations and garbage cart maintenance requests - though these have all been closed. Interestingly, most recently in mid-2025, there has been an unusual spike in 311 service activity, with multiple requests related to sanitation and waste management, including two recycling cart requests and sanitation code violations, all of which have been successfully closed. The significant time gap between the last recorded violations and the recent resolution of multiple service requests suggests a potential shift in building management responsiveness to maintenance and waste management issues, though it's worth noting that the two open building code violations from 2020 remain outstanding.

Risk rating

How 2917 N Halsted St 9'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
16thpercentile
