Unlock complete reportThe 15-unit building at 2437 W Peterson in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by James Virvilos, has been standing since 1927 and has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns over recent years. Of particular note are two unresolved building code violations from September and August of 2020, which were initiated through complaint-driven inspections and remain open as of the latest review date. The property has generated 11 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent request (March 2026) concerning a sidewalk inspection. Other notable recent issues include a plumbing violation in October 2025, a consumer fraud complaint in August 2025, and multiple reports of alley potholes (July 2025), all of which were addressed and closed. The building's history also includes a rat complaint that was resolved in December 2024. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues typical of an older building, the number of open violations and service requests suggests ongoing attention may be required to address these matters.

How 2437 W Peterson 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.
Out of 3126 buildings in this neighborhood, 3032 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
