Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2701 S Whipple St in Little Village, owned by Amber Serrano, has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of nine recorded incidents. The property, constructed in 1896, has experienced a series of minor municipal service interactions primarily related to property maintenance and enforcement issues. Most recently, in early 2026, there were two graffiti removal requests in April and March, along with a finance parking code enforcement review in February. Prior to these, in 2025, there was one report concerning garbage cart maintenance in August, a city vehicle sticker violation in the same month, and a basement water complaint in April. Going further back in the building's history, there was an environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping recorded in September 2009, though it is unclear whether this involved the building or surrounding area. While the service request history shows regular interactions with city services, most issues appear to be routine maintenance and enforcement matters rather than serious structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 2701 S Whipple 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.

Neighborhood percentile
