AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2202 W Erie Street in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by trustee Sarah D Ruiz, has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. Most significantly, there have been recurring concerns about water quality, with two water lead test kit requests in November 2025 (one of which remains open) representing a potential health safety concern. The building has also encountered various infrastructure issues, including multiple street light outages in September 2025 and at least one sanitation code violation in April 2026, though these exterior problems have been resolved according to available records. Additionally, a leak investigation request was made and subsequently closed in July 2025. The property has generated a total of 12 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, though only one building permit has been issued during this period, suggesting limited recent construction or renovation activity. While the historical age of the building may contribute to some of these issues, the concentration of recent service requests and the open water quality concern warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2202 W Erie 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.
