AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 2828 S Shields Ave 2 in Armour Square, owned by Jing Ye Huang, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1888. The property has experienced relatively few service requests over the past seven years, with a total of five complaints recorded between 2024 and 2026. Most of these recent issues have been external to the building itself, including two street pothole complaints in 2026 and 2025, one report of an abandoned vehicle in 2024, and a rodent complaint in 2024, all of which have been resolved. More recently, in August 2025, a water lead test kit request was submitted and remains open as of October 2023, which could have significant implications for resident health and safety if not addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 2828 S Shields Ave 2'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.
