Initial analysis

The property at 2128 N Mobile Ave, located in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, is a two-unit building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Johnny J Soto. The building's recent records indicate a concerning pattern of unresolved issues, with a cluster of complaint-driven inspections resulting in multiple open violations as of September 2025. These open violations, recorded all on September 24, 2025, represent a significant portion of the building's total violations, which number 20 over the past seven years. The building has generated several 311 service requests in recent years, including issues with sanitation (August 2025), rodent problems (August 2025), and garbage cart maintenance (May 2024), all of which have been closed. While the property has had various service requests, the most pressing concern appears to be the recent cluster of open violations related to building code compliance, which stands out as the most significant current issue facing the property, given its potential impact on resident safety and comfort. The building's violation and service request history suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, though all previous service requests have been resolved except for the most recent open violations.

Risk rating

How 2128 N Mobile 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.
