Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2459 N Halsted Street in Lincoln Park, constructed in 1897, has experienced a notably high volume of housing-related activity over the past seven years, with records showing 2,228 building violations, 8,731 311 service requests, and 338 building permits. The property has maintained an active response to various maintenance and safety issues, as evidenced by the recent cluster of service requests in 2026, which included multiple graffiti removal requests (five in total), a pothole complaint, and an inspection of the public way. While the 2026 service requests are primarily focused on external property issues rather than building-specific concerns, they do indicate ongoing maintenance needs in the surrounding area. The building's record includes some environmental oversight, with 10 enforcement actions and 33 complaints logged, though the exact nature of these issues is not specified in the available data. Additionally, there have been three house share violations recorded over the seven-year period, suggesting some regulatory non-compliance related to short-term rentals or similar arrangements.

Risk rating

How 2459 N Halsted 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
