Lake View, Chicago IL 60657 14291220080000 4 units · 2005

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 four-unit residential building at 2929 N Southport Ave in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by Southport Avenue Prop, was constructed in 2005 and has maintained relatively stable records over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 56 service requests, indicating regular interaction with city services, though most of these appear to have been routine matters rather than significant issues. Of particular note are two recent rodent-related incidents in 2024, occurring in May and December, both of which were resolved through rodent baiting services. The building's violation record shows three building violations over the past seven years, suggesting occasional regulatory compliance issues, though the exact nature and resolution of these violations are not specified in the available data. The property has also undergone nine building permits in this period, indicating some level of maintenance or improvement activity. Additionally, there is one recorded environmental complaint, though details about this incident and its resolution are not provided in the available records.

Risk rating

How 2929 N Southport Ave'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.
