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 residential building at 2329 S Ridgeway Ave in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by John Escobedo, is a 130-year-old structure built in 1893. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of six documented service requests, with all but one of the most recent requests being resolved. The building has experienced several water-related issues in 2024, including two water lead test requests (one of which remains open as of May 2024), a low water pressure complaint in June 2024, and a plumbing violation in September 2024. Other notable incidents this year include a tree removal inspection in June and a city vehicle sticker violation in November, both of which have been closed. The frequency and nature of the water-related service requests throughout 2024 suggest ongoing concerns with the building's water infrastructure, while the age of the building (constructed in 1893) and the relatively large number of service requests for a two-unit property warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2329 S Ridgeway 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.
