Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2004 W 19th Street in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by BMS DEV, is a 130-year-old structure built in 1893. The property has a documented history of five municipal service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring in March and April 2026. During this period, the building experienced typical urban maintenance issues including requests for garbage cart maintenance, blue recycling cart provision, and graffiti removal, all of which have since been closed. Earlier in 2025, there was also a tree trimming request, though the city has since ceased accepting such requests. The property has recorded two building permits in the past seven years, though specific details of these permits are not included in the current record. While the 2026 records show proactive engagement with municipal services, particularly regarding waste management and environmental concerns, there are no recorded safety incidents or building code violations in the available data, suggesting the property is maintained within regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 2004 W 19Th St'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.
