Initial analysis

The property at 2548 W Thomas St in Ukrainian Village is a two-unit building constructed in 1889, currently owned by James & Regina Pryma. The building's recent history shows a cluster of activity in late 2024 through 2025, with six complaint-driven inspection violations in November 2024 that were promptly resolved. The property has experienced multiple service requests in 2025, including rodent baiting/raccomplaints, a blue recycling cart issue, and a pothole complaint, all of which were addressed and closed. Additionally, there were two tree trimming requests made in early 2025, though these were no longer being accepted at the time of the requests. The building's record shows a total of 13 violations and 14 service requests in the past seven years, though most recent violations have been resolved, indicating responsive management to compliance issues. The only building permit on record in this period suggests limited major construction or renovation activity has taken place.

Risk rating

How 2548 W Thomas St'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.
