The four-unit residential building at 2638 N Wayne Ave in Lincoln Park, owned by ANDCO MANAGEMENT, is an 1888 structure that has experienced various maintenance and environmental issues over the past several years. Most concerning are the recent rodent-related issues, with three complaints recorded between November 2025 and August 2025, indicating a potential ongoing pest control problem. The property has maintained an active relationship with municipal services, generating 32 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent being snow and ice removal requests and an abandoned vehicle complaint in December 2025. Historically, the building faced air pollution concerns in January 2007, resulting in two administrative violations in February 2007, each carrying a $200 fine, though these cases were subsequently closed.

Risk rating

How 2638 N Wayne 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
