Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 2119 W North Ave, located in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, is a 1926 structure currently owned by the 2119 CORPORATION BLDG. The building's recent history over the past seven years shows a particularly notable cluster of graffiti-related incidents, with six such complaints recorded in March and April 2026 alone, along with one information-only call to 311. These incidents, while resolved, may indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance or neighborhood security. Looking further back in the building's history, there are two significant events worth noting: an asbestos-related work order complaint filed in October 2001, and a code violation case from July 2008 related to the Chicago Municipal Code (Section 7-28-490), which resulted in a $300 fine and was subsequently closed. These historical environmental concerns suggest the building has faced some hazardous material management challenges in the past, though there's no recent evidence of similar issues.

Risk rating

How 2119 W North 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

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.
