Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2144 N Kilbourn Ave in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Elias Banda, has been standing since 1924 and has a documented history of eight service requests through Chicago's 311 system over the past seven years. The most pressing current issue is an open water lead test visit request filed in April 2026, which suggests potential concerns about water quality that merit attention. The property has experienced several tree-related issues in late 2024, with three separate tree trim requests filed within a ten-day period in December 2024, though these requests were for services that were no longer being accepted at that time. The following year, 2025, saw three additional service requests, including an abandoned vehicle complaint and a fly dumping complaint, both of which have since been resolved. While the tree-related service requests in 2024 and various complaints in 2025 indicate some maintenance and neighborhood management challenges, the most significant ongoing concern appears to be the water lead testing situation from 2026, which may have implications for resident health and safety.

Risk rating

How 2144 N Kilbourn 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
