Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2716 W Cortez St in Humboldt Park, owned by Miguel Arteaga, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The most significant events on record occurred in June 2021, when the property faced two construction site cleanliness violations related to its fabric mesh and chain link fence. The first violation, regarding the fabric mesh, was resolved as a non-suit with no fines imposed, while the second violation concerning the chain link fence resulted in the owner being found liable and incurring a $1,000 fine. Both violations were addressed through the administrative hearing process and officially closed. More recently, in April 2024, the building had two service requests related to waste management - for a blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance - both of which have been closed. The building's record over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents, with only two 311 service requests, two environmental enforcement actions, and one environmental complaint during this period, suggesting generally stable property management aside from the addressed 2021 violations.

Risk rating

How 2716 W Cortez 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.
