Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2941 N Racine Ave in the Lake View neighborhood is an 1888 structure currently owned by Styles Properties LLC. The building's record indicates some concerning recent activity, with two unresolved complaint-driven inspections recorded in March 2023, marking the only building code violations in the past seven years. The property has generated a notable volume of service requests under its current ownership, with 89 total requests over the past seven years. Two of these requests were logged in 2024-2025, including a now-closed tree trim request and a garbage cart maintenance issue. An environmental complaint regarding asbestos work was reported in May 2010, though no subsequent violations or related issues have been documented in the building's recent history. While the property has had relatively few building code violations in recent years, the presence of two open violations from 2023 warrants attention as these could impact resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 2941 N Racine 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.
