Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2737 S Kostner Ave in Little Village, owned by Daniel R Limoges, has a history of code enforcement issues that warrants attention. Most concerning is a cluster of six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded on September 6, 2024, which together represent the majority of the building's documented violations over the past seven years. While the building has only one permitted improvement during this period, which suggests minimal recent renovation activity, there have been two 311 service requests: a water lead test kit request in February 2026 (which was closed) and a garbage cart maintenance issue in May 2024 (also closed). The presence of multiple open violations as of September 2024 is particularly noteworthy, as it indicates ongoing compliance issues that may affect resident safety and comfort. The building's age (constructed in 1913) combined with these recent violations suggests that maintenance and regulatory compliance may be ongoing challenges for this property.

Risk rating

How 2737 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.
