Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2053 W Evergreen Ave, located in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, was constructed in 1901 and is currently owned by Jeffrey E Fisher. The property has experienced several significant events over the past seven years, with particular attention required for the year 2022, during which multiple environmental issues occurred. In September 2022, the building faced enforcement actions resulting in default fines totaling $6,000 for violations related to waste removal and construction site cleanliness. This followed earlier environmental complaints in August 2022 concerning construction and demolition activities, and in January 2022 regarding asbestos work. The building's recent history shows four 311 service requests between 2024-2026, including issues with garbage cart maintenance, an alley light outage, a tree emergency, and blue recycling cart concerns, all of which have been resolved. While the property has had two building permits filed in the past seven years, the concentration of environmental complaints and violations in 2022, along with the relatively few service requests since then, suggests varying levels of property management focus over time.

Risk rating

How 2053 W Evergreen 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.
