Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2130 W Iowa Street in Chicago's Ukrainian Village, owned by Sean and Cathy Murphy, has been in operation since 1916 and has generated a total of 10 documented service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. Most notably, four consecutive street light outage complaints were filed on March 22, 2026, suggesting a recurring issue with outdoor lighting in the immediate vicinity, though these were subsequently closed. Other recent activities include an open water lead test kit request and a closed finance parking code enforcement review in April 2026, indicating potential concerns regarding both water safety testing protocols and parking compliance matters. The property's service request history also shows attention to waste management infrastructure, with a blue recycling cart request being completed in December 2024. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building over this time period, the clustering of street light issues and recent water lead testing request are worth noting from a resident comfort and safety perspective.

Risk rating

How 2130 W Iowa St'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.
