AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 522 N Claremont Ave in Chicago's West Town neighborhood is a 144-year-old property owned by Sukhmit Kalsi. The building's service request history over the past seven years reveals several concerning patterns, particularly in mid-2025. During that period, there were three consecutive rodent-related complaints between July 9 and July 12, all of which were addressed and closed by Streets and Sanitation. Most recently, in June 2026, there was a tree emergency requiring intervention, though precise details of the incident and its implications for resident safety are not specified in the records. Earlier that same month, there were two tree trim requests filed in November 2025, both of which were for matters no longer being accepted under the current service request system. While all reported issues have been officially closed, the concentration of rodent-related complaints in mid-2025 and the recent tree emergency warrant attention when considering the building's maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 522 N Claremont 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.
