Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2314 W 48th Street in the New City neighborhood, owned by Bertha R Montelongo, is a historic structure dating back to 1898. The property's recent record shows a cluster of building code violations in August 2021, all of which were resolved through complaint-driven inspections. While there have been no building code violations recorded in the past two years, the property has experienced several infrastructure-related issues since 2025, primarily concerning trees. The most recent service request, a tree emergency, remains open as of June 2026. The building has had multiple tree-related service requests, including two tree emergencies, a removal inspection, and a trimming request between 2025 and 2026. Additionally, there was one street light outage complaint in April 2026, which has since been resolved. While the building's most significant issues (the 2021 violations) have been addressed, the property has seen recurring exterior maintenance needs, particularly regarding trees, with the most pressing issues occurring in the past year. The clustering of service requests related to tree emergencies and maintenance suggests an ongoing challenge with this aspect of the property's exterior upkeep.

Risk rating

How 2314 W 48Th 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
