Initial analysis

This four-unit, 125-year-old building located at 2141 S Trumbull Ave in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, currently owned by Jean Burton, has undergone several notable events in recent years. The property has experienced recurring sewer maintenance issues, with three sewer cleaning inspection requests recorded between June and December 2025, including one that remains open as of December 2025. There have also been multiple rodent-related concerns, with two rat complaints filed in September and November 2025, both of which have been resolved. The building has faced environmental scrutiny in recent months, with two air pollution complaints filed in December 2025 - one on December 4 and another on December 15. While both complaints were investigated and resolved with no violations found (on December 8 and 17 respectively), their occurrence suggests some level of environmental monitoring activity in the area. The property's maintenance record over the past seven years shows a total of six 311 service requests and two environmental complaints, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed promptly, with most service requests marked as closed.

Risk rating

How 2141 S Trumbull 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.

Neighborhood percentile
