Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1883-built property at 2119 W Race Ave in the West Town neighborhood has had limited documented issues over the past seven years, with five 311 service requests and one building permit on record. The most recent events, all closed, include a 2025 e-scooter parking complaint and an abandoned vehicle complaint from September and August 2025, respectively. More concerning for resident comfort were two service-related issues reported in December 2024, including a no water complaint, which could indicate potential infrastructure concerns. The property's only building permit in the past seven years suggests minimal recent construction or improvement activity. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for the period in question, the nature of the complaints shows a mix of public space concerns (e-scooter and vehicle issues) versus building-specific problems (water complaint), with the most serious issues appearing to cluster around late 2024.

Risk rating

How 2119 W Race 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.
