Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2541 N Seminary Ave, owned by Anthony Lococo, is an 1879 structure located in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood. The property has experienced significant tree-related incidents in recent months, particularly during September 2024, when there were multiple reports of tree debris that required clean-up, along with inspections and emergency responses related to tree conditions. These events represent the most recent and notable pattern of service requests for the property, suggesting potential ongoing concerns with tree management in the vicinity. The building's overall service request history over the past seven years shows a total of 22 requests associated with the owner, with 12 of those being specifically tied to the building itself. Most of the recent activity has centered around outdoor maintenance, including yard waste pick-up requests, with the most recent being logged in December 2024. While the frequency of service requests might indicate some maintenance requirements, it's worth noting that many of these requests have been promptly addressed and marked as closed. The building's age is significant, being over 144 years old, but there are no recorded structural or safety incidents in the available data that would raise immediate concerns about the property's condition.

Risk rating

How 2541 N Seminary 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.
