2455 N Seminary Ave
Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.
This building has 0 building violations (7y), at or below the Sheffield & DePaul average of 1.0.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts building violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Unlock complete reportThe property at 2455 N Seminary Ave, located in the Sheffield & DePaul neighborhood, is a 5-unit building constructed in 1889 and owned by Joseph L Dombrowski. The building's records show significant activity over recent years, with particular attention needed to recent developments. There are currently two open requests from November and August 2025 regarding public way and sidewalk inspections, suggesting ongoing concerns about pedestrian infrastructure around the property. Between 2018 and 2025, the building accumulated a total of 23 building violations and 4 house share violations, though only 4 building permits were pulled during this period. The frequency of 311 service requests is noteworthy, with a total of 126 logged by the owner, including three closed Divvy bike parking complaints and one e-scooter parking complaint in mid-2025. The property appears to have had active engagement with city services, particularly regarding public transportation infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple bike parking complaints. The age of the building combined with its violation history merits attention, particularly in relation to the relatively low number of building permits issued over the same period.

How 2455 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
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.
Out of 403 buildings in this neighborhood, 286 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
