Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2835 S Kenneth Ave in Little Village, owned by Alfredo Barrera, has been standing since 1908 and has had some notable activity over the past seven years. Most concerning is an open building code violation recorded in March 2025, which represents the only building violation on record for both the property and its current owner during this period. The property has generated a total of six 311 service requests in recent years, with several related to waste management issues in 2025, including three requests for recycling cart services (two in August and one in October), and a garbage cart maintenance request (also in August). Earlier in 2025, there were two building violation complaints filed in February, both of which have since been closed. The most recent service request, regarding a blue recycling cart, reflects the building's ongoing waste management needs, while the open building code violation from March 2025 is the only remaining compliance issue on record.

Risk rating

How 2835 S Kenneth 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.
