AI summary

The two-unit building at 3000 S Central Park Ave 1 in Little Village, owned by Jose Estaban Torres, has experienced notable challenges in recent years since its construction in 1936. Most concerning are the numerous unresolved building code violations, with six open complaint-driven inspections documented in March 2025, as well as one unresolved violation from October 2022. The property has accumulated 12 building violations over the past seven years, indicating ongoing regulatory compliance issues. In addition, there have been 17 service requests made through the city's 311 system during this period, with the most recent being a street light complaint in March 2026. The building's recent history shows a recurring pattern of external maintenance issues, particularly in late 2025 when there were multiple graffiti removal requests (three in November 2025) and some infrastructure concerns, including a July 2025 open fire hydrant complaint and a street light outage complaint. These patterns suggest the property may require closer attention to basic infrastructure and maintenance needs, particularly given the frequency of recent violations and service requests.

Risk rating

How 3000 S Central Park Ave 1'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.
