Unlock complete reportThe six-unit residential building at 2642 S Kedzie Ave in Little Village, currently owned by Jose Cortez, has been standing since 1898 and presents a mixed record of building maintenance and tenant services over the past seven years. While the property has generated only one 311 service request in 2026 for graffiti removal, this appears to be an isolated incident since the building had no documented service requests prior to that recent complaint. However, the property has been subject to 26 building violations during the same period, suggesting recurring compliance issues requiring attention. The records indicate a relatively low level of construction activity, with only two building permits filed in the past seven years, a figure that may warrant attention given the building's age and the typical maintenance requirements of similar structures. Notably, the owner has generated a significant number of service requests—88 in total—though the nature and justification of these requests are not detailed in the available data.

How 2642 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
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.
