Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2218 W Cullerton St in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by Venancio Escutia Jr, dates back to 1889 and has experienced minimal activity over the past seven years according to city records. The documented service requests during this period, totaling four, have been primarily routine in nature, including two recycling pick-up requests in 2026 and 2025, a general information call to 311 in February 2026, and a tree trimming request from March 2025 (though this particular request type is no longer being accepted by the city). The building's permit activity is limited to a single building permit over the seven-year timeframe. While the relatively low number of service requests and permits might suggest stable building conditions, it's important to note that the types of requests documented have been mostly typical municipal service calls rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2218 W Cullerton 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.

Neighborhood percentile
55thpercentile

Out of 3683 buildings in this neighborhood, 1657 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
