Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2449 N Kostner Ave 2, located in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, is a century-old property constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Victoria Rodriguez. Over the past seven years, this property has generated a total of three 311 service requests specifically for this address, while the owner's total portfolio (including three parcels) has seen 16 service requests in the same timeframe. The most recent cluster of activity occurred in late September 2025, with two back-to-back sewer cleaning inspection requests being logged and subsequently closed, suggesting potential challenges with the building's plumbing infrastructure. Prior to these sewer-related concerns, there was a tree debris clean-up request made to the Alderman's office in May 2024, which was also resolved. While the service request frequency is relatively low for this period, the recent concentration of sewer-related issues warrants attention, though it's worth noting that the two 2025 requests were promptly addressed and closed by city services.

Risk rating

How 2449 N Kostner 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

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.
