Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 2863 N Clark St in Lake View, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by 2863 65 CLARK LLC, has experienced several concerning issues over the past seven years, with particular emphasis on rodent problems. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about rodent infestations, with five recorded rat complaints between April 2023 and November 2025, all of which were closed through the 311 service system. The building has also faced recurring water issues, with two basement water complaints registered in January 2026. Environmental concerns include an illegal dumping incident reported in April 2022, which was referred to other departments for resolution. While the building's permit activity is minimal with only one permit filed in the past seven years, this should be interpreted with caution as some routine maintenance may not require permits. Historical records dating back to 2006-2007 note two noise complaints, though these appear to be older and outside the current seven-year review period.

Risk rating

How 2863 N Clark 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

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
