Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2729 N Magnolia Avenue, constructed in 1892 and currently owned by Foreit Properties LLC, is located in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. The property has experienced a significant number of documented issues over the past seven years, with records showing a total of 185 building violations and 86 service requests made through the city's 311 system. While the majority of these violations and complaints appear to be relatively minor in nature, including issues such as garbage cart maintenance, potholes, and sanitation code violations, there is also a recent rodent baiting complaint filed in March 2026 that merits attention. The building's maintenance record shows 17 building permits issued during the same seven-year period, and there have been two environmental complaints filed against the property. The most recent cluster of service requests from 2025 includes matters such as e-scooter parking, tree removal inspection, and sanitation concerns, all of which have been closed out. While the age of the building suggests it has endured the test of time, the high volume of building violations recorded under its current ownership stands out as a noteworthy aspect of its maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 2729 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.
