Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2907 N Kenneth Ave in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by R Villa, was constructed in 1927 and has experienced a total of eight documented service requests through the city’s 311 system over the past seven years. The most significant and concerning current issue is an open building violation filed in January 2026, which suggests a potentially unresolved safety or maintenance matter. The property has also faced recurring issues with waste management infrastructure, as evidenced by three separate requests for garbage cart maintenance between September and November 2024-2025, though these have all been marked as closed. There have been two reports of abandoned vehicles near the property in September and November 2025, both of which were closed, and a request for a blue recycling cart in November 2024, which was also resolved. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building over this timeframe, the open building violation from early 2026 is the most notable concern regarding the property's current condition.

Risk rating

How 2907 N Kenneth 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.

Neighborhood percentile
95thpercentile
