Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2437 N Ashland Ave in Lincoln Park, constructed in 1888 and currently owned by SJK GROUP II LLC, has maintained relatively minimal regulatory issues over the past three decades. The building has documented only one building code violation in the past seven years, which occurred in October 2019 and was resolved promptly. In terms of municipal service requests, there have been 12 documented incidents in the same timeframe, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in late 2025/early 2026, primarily concerning one-way sign repairs and sidewalk maintenance during winter months. Historical records show three environmental complaints from 1994 and 2008 related to air pollution and illegal dumping, though these incidents predate the current ownership and are not directly relevant to present conditions. The property's record suggests regular compliance with building codes and prompt attention to municipal service requests, with no pattern of recurring violations or safety-related issues.

Risk rating

How 2437 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.

Neighborhood percentile
35thpercentile

Out of 1544 buildings in this neighborhood, 1004 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
