Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1909 building located at 2321 W Ohio St in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, currently owned by John Nykaza, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years. The property has generated a total of four 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in late 2025, including requests for garbage cart maintenance, graffiti removal, rodent baiting, and an alley pothole complaint, all of which have been resolved. The building's violation record shows two documented building violations over the past seven years, though specific details of these violations are not provided in the available data. Additionally, there has been one environmental complaint linked to the property during this period. The owner holds title to two parcels in total, and while two building violations may seem notable, the relatively low number of service requests and violations over this period could suggest a generally stable property condition, though recent pest control intervention indicates some attention to maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 2321 W Ohio 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.
