Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2443 N Rutherford Ave in Chicago's Montclare neighborhood, owned by Jonathan Ocegueda, has experienced multiple concerning issues in recent years. Since 2019, there have been eight building code violations recorded, with six of these occurring in 2024-2025 during complaint-driven inspections that remain open and unresolved as of October 2023. This cluster of recent violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges that have not yet been addressed. The building's service request history shows 23 logged incidents over the past seven years, with a notable concentration of garbage cart maintenance issues in early 2026 (three requests between January-April 2026) and a tree planting request filed in June 2026 that remains open. While some service requests, including a blue recycling cart issue and a parking code enforcement review, have been resolved, the predominant pattern of recent building code violations and service requests related to waste management infrastructure raises concerns about the property's current maintenance and oversight situation. The building, constructed in 1926, has a single parcel under its current ownership, though its violation and service request history indicates potential challenges with both building code compliance and basic waste management systems.

Risk rating

How 2443 N Rutherford Ave'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.
