Initial analysis

The 44-unit residential building at 2234 W Farwell in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Hunter Properties Inc., has some concerning ongoing issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there are three open complaint-driven building code violations recorded as of August 2019, which remain unresolved. While the building's record shows relatively few building permits (only 2 in the past 7 years), there has been a significant number of service requests associated with the property, totaling 63 under the current ownership. These service requests vary in nature, with the most recent cluster (2025-2026) consisting primarily of abandoned vehicle complaints, though there were also two tree emergencies and one water-related issue on the street in late 2025. The building's overall violation and service request history is relatively minimal compared to many other properties, with only 5 building violations and 13 service requests recorded directly against the building in the past 7 years, though this does not account for any potential issues that may have occurred prior to 2016.

Risk rating

How 2234 W Farwell 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.
