Initial analysis

The three-story, 1909 residential building at 2422 N Orchard in Lincoln Park, currently owned by 2422 Orchard LLC, has experienced a series of notable events over recent years. The property has maintained relatively good compliance with building codes, with three violations recorded in the past seven years - two in December and July of 2020 (both permit-related inspections), and one periodic routine inspection violation in July 2019, all of which have been resolved. The building's service request history reveals an unusual cluster of animal-related incidents in May 2026, including three dead animal pick-up requests and one vicious animal complaint, all of which have been closed, though the frequency of these incidents raises some concern about the building's immediate environment during that period. More recent requests include an open tree planting request from October 2024 and two recycling pick-up requests in July and October 2024, all of which appear to be routine municipal services. Additionally, there was one construction and demolition-related environmental complaint filed in 2018, which was resolved in March of that year. The relatively low number of building violations and permits issued in the last seven years, combined with the resolution of all documented issues, suggests basic regulatory compliance, though the recent clustering of animal-related service requests merits attention.

Risk rating

How 2422 N Orchard'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.
