Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2032 N Kostner Ave in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Jaime E Cea, is a century-old property constructed in 1901. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced a total of 11 documented 311 service requests, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in May 2026, all related to abandoned vehicle complaints, suggesting potential ongoing parking or abandon vehicle issues in the vicinity. Notably, there was a rodent infestation complaint in February 2025 and a sewer cave-in inspection request in May 2025, both of which were resolved. The building has also faced winter maintenance challenges, evidenced by a snow-uncleared sidewalk complaint in February 2026. An external noise complaint from 2021 was documented and subsequently resolved by May of that year. While the total number of service requests over the years is relatively modest for a multi-unit building, the recent concentration of vehicle-related complaints and recurring issues with rodents and infrastructure maintenance are worth noting for their potential impact on resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 2032 N Kostner 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.
