Initial analysis

The property at 2112 S Trumbull Ave in North Lawndale is a two-unit, 125-year-old building owned by Samuel Lee Dampier. The building's recent history shows multiple concerning patterns, most notably in 2019 when six separate complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded, all of which remain open and unresolved as of the latest data in October 2023. In 2025, there has been a series of service requests showing persistent issues, including two separate leak investigations in March and April, three waste-related incidents including fly dumping complaints and a sanitation code violation between June and August. The building's maintenance record also shows only one building permit filed in the past seven years, suggesting limited proactive maintenance or improvements. While several of the 2025 service requests have been resolved, the combination of open building violations from 2019 and recent water-related issues indicates potential ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.

Risk rating

How 2112 S Trumbull Ave'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
