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 property at 2728 N Magnolia Ave in Lincoln Park is a three-unit residential building constructed in 1888 and currently owned by Sandra B Wolodko. The building's recent activity has been notably focused on tree-related issues, with six service requests related to tree management between 2025 and 2026, including emergencies, debris cleanup, and trim requests. The property has also experienced maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a rodent baiting complaint in January 2026 and an e-scooter parking complaint in November 2025, both of which were resolved. Looking further back, the building had an asbestos work order complaint in May 2015 that was resolved, and two historical complaints from 1999 (other) and 2005 (noise) that were likely addressed at the time. The building's service request history over the past seven years shows a total of 14 service requests, with the majority appearing to be recent infrastructure and maintenance issues rather than tenant safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 2728 N Magnolia 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.
