Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 2646 S Kedzie Ave 6 in Little Village is an 1898 structure currently owned by Jose Cortez. The property has an extensive records history, with 26 building violations and 88 service requests filed under the current ownership over the past seven years. Of particular note is a complaint-driven inspection violation from June 2021 that remains open and unresolved as of the latest data. The building's service request history shows three documented incidents, including two graffiti removal requests in 2024 (one in August and another in February, both of which have been closed), and one informational call in July 2024. While the property has received two building permits in the past seven years, the significant number of violations and service requests compared to typical building records warrants attention, particularly the outstanding violation from 2021 which could potentially impact resident safety or comfort.

Risk rating

How 2646 S Kedzie Ave 6'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.
