Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2244 N Kenneth Ave in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Jose Ocasio Guzman, has been in operation since 1910. The property has generated a total of 10 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activities clustering around early 2026. Notable recent service requests include multiple Finance Parking Code Enforcement Reviews in March 2026, a tree removal inspection that remains open as of March 2026, and a rodent baiting complaint that was closed in May 2026. The building's environmental record shows one complaint in 2024 regarding air pollution, which was investigated and found to have no violations. While the service request volume is relatively low for a building of this age and size, the recent concentration of parking-related issues and ongoing tree inspection warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2244 N Kenneth 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.
