Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2400 S Springfield Ave in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by Marilyn Barragan, has been standing since 1920 and has recorded several significant incidents over the past seven years. Most notably, there are currently five unresolved building code violations from December 2022, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections, which represent the building's only documented code violations during this period. The property has also generated a relatively high volume of 311 service requests, totaling 33 over seven years, with the most recent cluster of activity occurring in April 2026. This recent spate of requests primarily concerned graffiti removal, with four such requests recorded within a single week in late April 2026, plus one additional graffiti removal request and a garbage cart maintenance issue in March 2026. While all these service requests have been closed, the recurrence of graffiti-related issues and the presence of unresolved building violations from late 2022 warrant attention to the property's maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 2400 S Springfield 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
5thpercentile
