Initial analysis

This five-unit residential building, located at 2235 W Cortez St in Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood, is a 1910 structure currently owned by Vasyl Voytanovych. The property has experienced some notable maintenance and safety concerns over the past seven years, with two unresolved building code violations recorded in April 2022 that remain pending as of the latest data. The building's service request history indicates various municipal interactions, including four recent tree-related incidents in May 2026 involving both emergency response and removal inspections, as well as a rat complaint that was addressed through the city's rodent baiting program. Additional service requests demonstrate community engagement with city services, including a parking code enforcement review and a sidewalk program request initiated in early 2026. While the building has had some permit activity over the past seven years, with three permits filed, the most pressing concern appears to be the unresolved building code violations from 2022, which, due to their age, represent the longest-standing issues on record for this property.

Risk rating

How 2235 W Cortez St 2'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.
