Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2224 N Keystone Ave in the Hermosa neighborhood, owned by Segundo J Caguana, has experienced several concerning issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there are five unresolved building code violations dating back to January 28, 2020, all originating from complaint-driven inspections, indicating potential ongoing safety or maintenance concerns. The property has also generated multiple service requests through the 311 system, including two instances of low water pressure in January 2025, though these were subsequently closed. Other recent service requests include a blue recycling cart issue filed in October 2025 (currently open), a closed parking code enforcement review in June 2025, and various municipal service requests in 2024 such as a street light outage and a tree debris clean-up, both of which were resolved. While the building's age (1904) is typical for the neighborhood, the combination of open building violations and recurring service requests, particularly in the area of water pressure, suggests ongoing facility maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 2224 N Keystone 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.
