AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2109 W Erie St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood is an 1888 structure currently owned by Anna Montesanto. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 17 service requests through 311, with all requests appearing to be related to routine waste management services. The most recent requests from 2025 and early 2026 show a consistent pattern of recycling and yard waste pickup requests, including three recycling pickups in September 2025 alone, and two yard waste pickups in 2025-2026. The frequency of these waste management requests suggests regular maintenance of municipal services, though it's worth noting that aside from these waste management needs, no significant building issues or emergency service requests have been reported through the 311 system in recent years. Additionally, the property's building permit activity is minimal, with only one permit filed in the past seven years, though the specific nature and outcome of this permit is not detailed in the provided data.

Risk rating

How 2109 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.
