North Lawndale, Chicago IL 60608 16242020090000 2 units · 2010

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2652 W 12th Street in North Lawndale, owned by OGDEN NORTH LLC, was constructed in 2010 and has generated some concerning maintenance records over its relatively short history. The property has recorded two notable water-related incidents in recent years: a basement water complaint in February 2026 and a water lead test kit request in September 2024, both of which were ultimately resolved. The building's overall record shows limited activity in certain areas, with only two building permits filed in the past seven years. More significantly, there have been 21 building violations recorded under the current ownership, alongside a substantial volume of 311 service requests totaling 129. While the majority of these service requests have not been specified in the available data, the number suggests the property has experienced regular maintenance and service interactions with the city, though it's worth noting that only two 311 service requests have occurred directly at the property address during the past seven years, indicating most of these interactions may relate to other properties within the extensive 17-parcel ownership by OGDEN NORTH LLC.

Risk rating

How 2652 W 12Th'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
39thpercentile

Out of 3676 buildings in this neighborhood, 2242 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
