Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2947 N Kilbourn Ave in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Luis and Rosa Villa, has been standing since 1930 and has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years. While the building has had only one official code violation documented during this period, it's worth noting that this apparent permit-related inspection violation from October 2024 remains unresolved as of the latest available record. The property has generated four 311 service requests since 2024, with the most recent being a snow-related dibs removal request from January 2025, which has since been resolved. Other service requests included a water in basement complaint (September 2024), a 311 information call (September 2024), and a sidewalk inspection request (April 2024), all of which have been closed. The presence of both a water-related issue and a sidewalk inspection request in 2024 suggests some attention to infrastructure matters, though no pattern of recurring issues is evident from the limited available data.

Risk rating

How 2947 N Kilbourn 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

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.
