Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2453 S Hamlin Ave in Little Village, owned by Golden Feather, has a significant history since its construction in 1908. Most notably, in late 2022, the property underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in multiple building code violations, though all were promptly resolved. The building's recent history has been marked by various 311 service requests, with the most recent being a sign repair request from May 2026 that remains open. Between 2024 and 2025, the property experienced several maintenance-related issues in the surrounding area, including multiple pothole complaints, an abandoned vehicle case, graffiti removal needs, and a rodent baiting request, all of which were resolved except for the current sign repair issue. Looking further back, there was an environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping that was resolved in 2014. The building has accumulated a total of 24 building violations and 29 service requests over the past seven years, though all recent building code issues have been addressed.

Risk rating

How 2453 S Hamlin Ave 2'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
