Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2429 West Harrison Street, located in Chicago's Little Italy/UIC neighborhood, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1892. Owned by Paul Ragano as Trustee, this property has experienced a notable increase in service requests in 2026, with at least five reported issues between March and May of that year alone. Of particular concern are two separate "No Water Complaint" incidents reported on March 8, 2026, and an ongoing "Plumbing Violation" reported in April 2026, which suggests potential water infrastructure problems that may affect resident comfort and safety. The water-related issues appear to be persistent, as evidenced by an active "Water Lead Test Kit Request" from March 19, 2026, though it remains to be seen if this was prompted by the earlier water complaints. Other recent service requests include recycling and garbage cart maintenance issues, with 27 total 311 service requests recorded for the building over the past seven years, and 37 service requests associated with the total parcels owned by Ragano. The building's age and these recent plumbing and water-related challenges suggest potential infrastructure maintenance concerns worthy of attention.

Risk rating

How 2429 W Harrison St 1'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.

Neighborhood percentile
85thpercentile
