Initial analysis

The 5-unit residential building at 2501 S Pulaski Rd in Little Village, owned by Rosario Penuelas, has a significant history of maintenance issues over the past two years, with a total of 16 documented service requests through the 311 system. Notably, there has been a persistent problem with graffiti in 2026, with five separate removal requests documented between February and May of that year. While these graffiti incidents appear to have been addressed promptly, as all are marked as closed, the frequency of these occurrences suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge in the neighborhood. Apart from these graffiti-related issues, there was one general information request made to 311 in February 2026. The building's history shows minimal formal intervention from city services in terms of building permits, with only one permit issued in the past seven years, though this alone does not necessarily indicate any particular concern about the building's condition or safety. The property, constructed in 1917, remains relatively stable in terms of ownership records, with only one known parcel associated with the current owner.

Risk rating

How 2501 S Pulaski Rd'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.
