Initial analysis

This 23-unit residential building, located in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood at 2601 W Fitch, is managed by ROSENTHAL LLC and was constructed in 1957. The property has three recurring issues that warrant attention: there are multiple open violations from periodic routine inspections in May 2024 (six violations) that remain unresolved, as well as a recent periodic routine inspection violation from November 2025 that is also still open. The building has experienced some pest control challenges, evidenced by two rodent-related service requests in March and May 2026, though these issues were subsequently addressed and marked as closed. Additional service requests handled by the city include a tree emergency, tree debris cleanup, and a sanitation code violation, all of which were resolved in March 2026. The history of the property shows minimal building permits issued during this period, with only one permit secured in the past seven years. The pattern of open periodic routine inspection violations suggests potential ongoing compliance issues, while the closed service requests indicate that while problems have occurred, they have been addressed in a timely manner once reported.

Risk rating

How 2601 W Fitch Chicago'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.
