Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1741 W 21st Place, located in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood, is a 117-year-old structure currently owned by 3FLTH1V LLC H3. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of nine service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent three requests occurring in 2025. The 311 service requests primarily consist of routine maintenance issues, including two street light outages (one in 2024 and one in 2025), a garbage cart maintenance request, and a blue recycling cart request, all of which have been closed. Notably, there was a rodent baiting or rat complaint filed in August 2025, which, while successfully addressed, highlights a potential pest control concern in the area. The only remaining unresolved issue is a tree planting request submitted in February 2025. The service request history suggests that while the building has experienced typical urban maintenance issues, there are no records of significant safety or structural concerns in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1741 W 21St Pl'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
46thpercentile

Out of 3683 buildings in this neighborhood, 1989 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
