Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2331 S Ridgeway Avenue in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood is a 130-year-old property owned by Guadalupe Meza, with available records showing minimal recent activity. Over the past seven years, there has been only one documented 311 service request associated with the property, which was a water lead test visit that occurred on October 3, 2025, and has since been closed. This testing may indicate proactive maintenance regarding water quality concerns, though it's worth noting that the request came nearly two years into the future from the current data access window (up to October 2023), suggesting possible data entry inconsistency or an unusually far-predicted future request in the system. Aside from this water testing request, there are no recorded 311 service calls or complaints in the past seven years, and the building has maintained consistent ownership with only one assessed parcel on record.

Risk rating

How 2331 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.
