Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2527 N Ashland Ave in Lincoln Park, owned by Maria C C Sanchez, has been subject to multiple regulatory and service scrutiny in recent years. The most pressing concerns are the cluster of unresolved building code violations, with six open complaint-driven inspections recorded on May 26, 2026, indicating ongoing compliance issues that have not yet been addressed. Additionally, there are two recent open complaints from June 2026 regarding building violations and construction permit issues. The building has experienced a pattern of regulatory attention over the past several years, with nine documented building violations and nine 311 service requests within the last seven years. Previous violations include several building-related issues that were resolved between May and February 2026, and one notable incident involving an uncleared snow sidewalk reported and resolved in February 2025. The building, constructed in 1906, consists of a single parcel and has shown a concerning trend of persistent violations and service requests, particularly in the most recent period, though it should be noted that most of these records are from future-dated entries which may require verification through official channels.

Risk rating

How 2527 N Ashland 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.
