Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2242 S Central Park Ave in Little Village is an 1893 structure currently owned by Ludmilla Koralewska. The property's recent records from the past seven years show a total of 14 service requests through the 311 system, with the majority occurring in 2026. Most notably, there were three garbage cart maintenance requests in April 2026, alongside a plumbing violation report in January 2026. Prior to this cluster of recent activity, there was a clean vacant lot request and another garbage cart maintenance issue in December 2025. The building's permit history shows only one building permit filed within the past seven years, suggesting limited recent renovations or improvements, though this may be typical for an older multi-unit structure with minimal required updates. While the service requests indicate some ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly related to waste management, the relatively limited number of serious incidents on record over this extended period suggests no major safety or habitability issues have been reported.

Risk rating

How 2242 S Central Park 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.
