Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 2434 W Division St in Wicker Park, owned by Carlos H Zambrano, is a historic structure dating back to 1891. The property's recent record from 2023 shows two periodic routine inspection violations that were promptly resolved. Noteworthy is the unusual volume of graffiti-related service requests this year, with six recorded incidents between February and June 2026, all of which have been closed. The building's record over the past seven years indicates a relatively low incidence of serious building violations (two in total) and only one building permit application. While the resolution of the routine inspections suggests responsiveness to regulatory requirements, the recent pattern of graffiti incidents may suggest some neighborhood maintenance challenges, though these appearances have been consistently addressed through the 311 service process.

Risk rating

How 2434 W Division 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

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
