Hermosa, Chicago IL 60639 13342050170000 2 units · 1912

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2317 N Kedvale Ave, located in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood and owned by J & C Ayala, has been in existence since 1912 and is currently facing several notable issues in 2025. Most pressing is the water quality concern, with both a water lead test kit request and a water lead test visit request filed in June 2025, the latter of which remains open. The property has also experienced sanitation code violations, with a complaint filed in August 2025 that has since been closed. Other service requests in the past year include a pothole complaint in the alley (closed May 2025), tree debris clean-up (closed July 2024), and a blue recycling cart request (closed July 2024). The building's service request history shows a modest number of complaints—totaling 11 over the past seven years—though it's worth noting that many of these issues have been addressed promptly, as evidenced by their closed status, with the exception of the recent water testing requests.

Risk rating

How 2317 N Kedvale Ave 1'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.
