Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2743 South Ridgeway Avenue in Little Village, owned by Bernardo Gutierrez, has a history dating back to 1903. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of ten service requests submitted through the 311 system, with the most recent incidents occurring between October 2024 and March 2026. The majority of these requests, totaling five, have been related to garbage cart maintenance, suggesting either ongoing challenges with waste management or regular municipal pickup arrangements. Three other service requests were made during this period: one regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint in February 2026, one for recycling pickup in January 2025, and one for a tree trim request in October 2024 (though it should be noted this type of request is no longer being accepted). While there have been numerous service requests, none specifically indicate issues related to resident safety or building conditions, with most concerns centering around waste management and municipal services.

Risk rating

How 2743 S Ridgeway 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

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.
