Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 2558 N Halsted St, located in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood, is an 1881 structure currently owned by Jorge Albarran. The property has experienced a notable spike in service requests in recent months, with six graffiti removal requests and three e-scooter parking complaints between March and May 2026, all of which have been closed. The building's longer-term records show a total of 33 service requests over the past seven years, along with 15 building violations during the same period, though it is unclear from the records how these violations were addressed. The property has had minimal construction activity in recent years, with only one building permit issued in the past seven years, suggesting limited maintenance or improvements to the aging structure. Previous environmental complaints include two noise complaints from June 2011 and February 2010, though these incidents are now significantly dated. The building's documented history shows relatively few major issues, but the recent cluster of graffiti and parking complaints may indicate emerging neighborhood concerns, while the high number of service requests and building violations warrants attention to ensure they have been properly addressed.

Risk rating

How 2558 N Halsted St'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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood
