Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 2317 W Barry Ave in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, owned by Leigh & Lindsey Marcus, has a documented history dating back to its 1890 construction. Most notably, there are currently two unresolved complaint-driven violations as of August 2025, which warrant attention given their open status. The building's maintenance record over the past seven years shows a total of 16 service requests made by the owners or representatives, with the most recent being a garbage cart maintenance issue in March 2026. Other notable incidents include a graffiti removal request (July 2025), a building permit violation (March 2025), an uncleared sidewalk complaint due to snow (January 2025), and a rodent complaint needing baiting (October 2024), all of which have been resolved. It's worth mentioning that while there are two recorded building violations in the past seven years, none of these appear to directly relate to the current unresolved violations, suggesting a potentially limited but concerning pattern of compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 2317 W Barry Ave 2'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.
