Initial analysis

The property at 2440 S Kedzie Ave is a 4-unit residential building located in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by Erie LaSalle Body Shop and constructed in 1923. The building's inspection and violation history reveals significant ongoing regulatory challenges, with five unresolved building code violations over the past seven years, including three related to a complaint-driven inspection on July 29, 2019, and two periodic routine inspections from 2021 and 2022. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and compliance issues, as evidenced by two environmental complaints in 2013 regarding process equipment operation instructions, resulting in one default fine of $5,000 despite a subsequent $-5,000 adjustment. While there have been some service requests, including a plumbing violation in 2026 and parking code review in 2024, both were resolved. The building's documented history suggests ongoing regulatory oversight challenges, with multiple open violations and a pattern of administrative hearings related to equipment operation guidelines.

Risk rating

How 2440 S Kedzie 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
2ndpercentile
