Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3022 S Kostner Ave in Little Village, owned by Laura Ramirez, has been experiencing significant and concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently six open complaint-driven inspection violations recorded as of February 27, 2025, indicating ongoing concerns that have remained unresolved for several months. This building, constructed in 1908, has maintained a relatively stable record of violations and service requests over the past seven years, with a total of six building violations and four 311 service requests. Among the service requests, three have been related to garbage cart maintenance (two in 2025 and one in 2024), while others have included an abandoned vehicle complaint in 2024 and a building violation report in February 2025, all of which have been marked as closed. The concentration of recent open violations, particularly those dated February 27, 2025, suggests emerging compliance challenges within the building that may affect resident experience and safety.

Risk rating

How 3022 S Kostner 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

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.
