Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2214 S Albany Ave in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by Jaime Vega, has a notable history since its construction in 1888. Most concerning is the cluster of five identical building code violations recorded on February 15, 2024, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections, and all currently remaining unresolved as of October 2023. These recent violations warrant particular attention given their recency and open status. Looking at the broader compliance record over the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of five building violations, with the current 2024 citations representing a significant spike in recent enforcement activity. The property has also generated seven 311 service requests during this period, though these are not detailed in the provided data. While the building is over a century old, its most pressing current challenges appear to stem from the recent wave of unresolved violations rather than a longer history of code compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 2214 S Albany 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
