Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2453 S Central Park Ave in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by Jose Tamez, has been standing since 1903. The property has generated a total of three documented service requests to the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2025. Two of these requests, made in May 2025, were related to garbage cart maintenance through the Alderman's office, while one request from September 2024 concerned a wire basket. All of these service requests have been marked as closed, indicating that the issues were addressed. The limited number of service requests on record, particularly for a building of its age, suggests minimal reported issues within this timeframe, though it's important to note that not all building concerns may be captured in the 311 system.

Risk rating

How 2453 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.
