Initial analysis

The property at 2006 South Ashland Avenue in Chicago is a three-unit, three-story building constructed in 1888, currently owned by Angel Avalos Jr. This historic Lower West Side building has had minimal activity on record over the past seven years, with only one 311 service request, one building permit, and two environmental enforcement actions. The most significant events occurred in early 2022, when the property experienced multiple issues related to construction and demolition work. In February 2022, two environmental complaints were filed regarding construction activities, with one being resolved within four days and the other referred to Code Enforcement. On March 1, 2022, the property received two construction site cleanliness violations under section 11-4-765, resulting in a $750 fine for one violation while the other was dismissed with no penalty. More recently, in August 2024, there was a tree trimming request submitted through the 311 system, though this type of request is no longer being accepted. The building's overall record shows limited maintenance and compliance activity, with the most concerning incidents being related to construction site management in early 2022.

Risk rating

How 2006 S Ashland Ave 1'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
56thpercentile
