Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 2820 W 23rd Street in Little Village, owned by Rafael Magallon, was constructed in 1893 and has remained relatively stable over the past several years. The building's 311 service request history over the last seven years shows a total of 17 requests by the owner across four parcels, with six specific to this building. The most recent incidents, from March 2025, involved two consecutive graffiti removal requests, while the summer of 2024 saw two complaints regarding open fire hydrants, and a garbage cart maintenance issue. Earlier in 2024, there was also a report of an abandoned vehicle in the vicinity. While these incidents have all been resolved (as indicated by their "Closed" status), the most significant cluster of complaints occurred in 2024, particularly concerning public safety with the fire hydrant issues. The property's service request history shows occasional maintenance needs and community-related issues, but there are no recorded safety violations or serious maintenance problems in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2820 W 23Rd 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
