Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2225 W Superior St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, owned by Paul G Olensiuk, was constructed in 1922 and has experienced several municipal interactions over the past seven years. Most notably, in November 2023, the property underwent four complaint-driven inspections that resulted in building code violations, though all were promptly resolved. The building's service history includes multiple 311 service requests, with the most significant cluster relating to rodent issues, as evidenced by two closed complaints regarding rodent baiting/rats in May and August 2025. Other service requests included an abandoned vehicle complaint, a parking code enforcement review, a tree trimming request (which is no longer being accepted), and a blue recycling cart request between 2024 and 2026. During this seven-year period, the property has had one building permit issued, though specific details of the permit's nature and scope were not provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2225 W Superior 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
