Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 2521 N Halsted Street in Lincoln Park, owned by 2521 HALSTED LLC, is a historic structure dating back to 1884. The property has experienced consistent engagement with city services, recording 44 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. Most notably, during 2026, there has been a series of service requests concentrated around external maintenance issues, including multiple yard waste pick-up requests and several complaints regarding potholes in the alleyway, with one alley-related complaint still showing as open. The building's recent service history has also included a rodent baiting complaint in May 2026, which has since been resolved. While the property has maintained regular interaction with city services for various maintenance needs, it's worth noting that the building's environmental complaint record shows a single incident from December 1994 categorized as "Other," with no subsequent environmental issues reported in recent decades.

Risk rating

How 2521 N Halsted St Hse'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
