Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2632 S Karlov Ave in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, owned by Maria Rojas, has had a notable history of code violations and service requests over the past several years. The property, constructed in 1903, has recorded six building code violations in the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of five complaint-driven inspection violations in March 2025, all of which were resolved. Notably, there is still one building code violation from August 2020 that remains unresolved. The building's recent maintenance record shows four 311 service requests in 2025-2026, including a street light outage (closed), an open inspection request to the Department of Transportation, graffiti removal (closed), and a building violation complaint (closed). The owner's broader property portfolio (eight parcels) has experienced more extensive activity, with nine total building violations and 55 total service requests over seven years. In terms of environmental issues, two complaints were filed in 2011 and 2012 regarding air pollution and an abandoned site, respectively, though these were resolved without finding any violations. The building has received only one building permit in the past seven years, suggesting limited recent structural modifications or improvements.

Risk rating

How 2632 S Karlov 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.
