Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 2616 N Halsted in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood, owned by ALVERNA GROUP LLC, has a concerning pattern of unresolved building code violations and service requests since its construction in 2017. Most notably, there are multiple open violations stemming from periodic routine inspections in 2019 and 2024, as well as a recent complaint-driven inspection in August 2023 that remains unresolved. While one periodic routine inspection from September 2021 was resolved, the overall pattern suggests ongoing compliance challenges. Between 2025-2026, there were numerous 311 service requests related to street potholes (six in total between January and May 2026), though these were all resolved, demonstrating responsiveness to infrastructure issues outside the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2616 N Halsted Chicago'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
