Initial analysis

The 26-unit residential building at 2819 W Division in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by 2815 Division BLDG LLC, has been in operation since 1932 and presents a concerning pattern of unresolved issues. Notably, there are six open building code violations from July 2019 that remain unresolved as of the current date, marking the most significant and persistent problem in the building's recent history. The property has recorded 25 building violations in the past seven years, along with 11 311 service requests, two building permits, and two environmental complaints during this same period. The environmental complaints from February 2022 were related to air pollution and were validated and resolved within one day, though the nature and source of this pollution were not specified in the records. More recently, in 2025-2026, there have been multiple service requests including water issues on the street, fly dumping incidents, and various requests related to signage and public way inspection, all of which have been closed. The building's violation and complaint record suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, with particular attention needed regarding the longstanding unresolved building code violations from 2019.

Risk rating

How 2819 W Division Chicago'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
2ndpercentile
