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 2841 N Southport Ave, located in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, was constructed in 2025 and is currently owned by Patrick Ostrom. The property has a relatively clean maintenance record, with only two 311 service requests logged in the past seven years, both of which were submitted on the same date (June 30, 2025) regarding waste management infrastructure - specifically, a blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance, both of which have been marked as closed. The building's permit record shows three permits issued in the same seven-year period, though the specific details and purposes of these permits are not provided in the available data. Given the property's recent construction date of 2025, this record demonstrates proper engagement with city services for waste management setup and indicates no significant building code violations or safety concerns have been reported through official channels.

Risk rating

How 2841 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.

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
