Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2029 W Cermak Rd in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by Nicole Campbell, was constructed in 1908 and has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years. The property's recorded incidents are minimal, with only two 311 service requests in 2026, both of which were reported on February 9 of that year. One of these requests was a "No Water Complaint" that has since been officially closed, while the other was simply an information-only call to 311 City Services. The building's service request history shows no other recorded issues in recent years, though it's worth noting that only 311 calls are captured in these records and may not represent the building's complete maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 2029 W Cermak Rd'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.

Neighborhood percentile
90thpercentile

Out of 3674 buildings in this neighborhood, 367 are predicted to be safer.
