Initial analysis

The 30-unit residential building at 2240 W Granville in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by 2240 GRANVILLE AN ILLI, has been standing since 1927 and currently presents several concerning issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an open pattern of building code violations from August 2025 related to periodic routine inspections that remain unresolved as of the latest data, following a previously resolved inspection violation from June 2021. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests in recent years, with the most recent ones in 2026 showing ongoing concerns including an open sidewalk inspection request, a missing street light pole door complaint, and a water lead test kit request, all of which could potentially impact resident safety and comfort. While the building has shown some responsiveness to certain issues, as evidenced by the resolution of a water street complaint in January 2026 and an injured animal report, the persistent nature of current violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance and safety oversight challenges. The building's total record of 15 violations and 16 service requests over the past seven years indicates a pattern of compliance and maintenance issues that requires monitoring.
