Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2054 W Farwell Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood is an older structure dating back to 1924, currently owned by M & B Frank. Over the past seven years, there have been minimal official records associated with the property, showing only one building permit and two 311 service requests. Both service requests were traffic-related issues from 2025, including a pothole complaint and an abandoned vehicle complaint, neither of which directly impacted the building's condition or resident safety. The absence of housing-related complaints or multiple service requests over this period could suggest either a well-maintained property or limited reporting of issues, though it's important to note that many concerns may not be formally documented through these channels.

Risk rating

How 2054 W Farwell Ave 3'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
