Initial analysis

The two-flat residential building at 2738 W Thomas St in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, owned by Luz Maria Diaz, is a historic property constructed in 1893. The two-unit building's recent service request history shows minimal activity, with only two recorded 311 service requests in the past seven years. The most recent request, from January 2025, was regarding a tree trimming matter, though this type of request is no longer being accepted through the 311 system. Prior to that, in May 2024, there was a request for garbage cart maintenance. Both service requests have been closed, and notably, neither of these requests relates to building safety or habitability concerns. The building's documented service request history is notably sparse, especially for its age and urban location, with no recorded complaints or emergency calls in the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 2738 W Thomas 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
