Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2057 N Kenneth Ave in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Roberto Rivera, is an 1888 structure that has experienced several maintenance and quality of life issues in recent years. The property has generated a notable number of service requests in 2025, with a total of six requests recorded to date this year, most of which relate to external maintenance concerns such as graffiti removal (three instances), street light issues, and a now-defunct tree trimming request. The building's overall service request history over the past seven years shows 17 total requests, though only one building permit has been recorded during this period, suggesting limited recent renovation or maintenance work. The property has incurred five building violations in the past seven years, though specific details of these violations are not provided in the available data. The concentration of service requests in 2025, particularly regarding graffiti maintenance, could indicate ongoing challenges with building upkeep and neighborhood conditions, while the relatively low number of building permits and violations suggests the structure has remained largely unchanged in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2057 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.
