Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2224 South Hamlin Avenue in Little Village, owned by Rosalba Tostado, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years. Most notably, on March 27, 2023, the property was subject to multiple complaint-driven inspections resulting in six open and unresolved building code violations. This cluster of violations stands out as the most serious recent issue affecting the property. While the building has been in existence since 1888, its most recent documented service requests show minimal interaction with city services, with only two 311 service requests in 2025 - one for tree debris clean-up and another for garbage cart maintenance, both of which were resolved. The building's record shows a total of 11 building violations over the past seven years, though not all are necessarily current or unresolved. The combination of multiple recent building violations and limited service requests suggests some areas of concern regarding building maintenance and responsiveness to violations, though it's worth noting that not all historical violations may represent current conditions.

Risk rating

How 2224 S Hamlin 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

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.
