Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 923 S Carpenter St, located in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood near UIC and owned by Structured Enterprises, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1888. The property currently has an open cluster of three unresolved building code violations dated June 9, 2025, which warrant particular attention given their recent nature and the fact that they remain unresolved. This building, in addition to being subject to multiple building code violations, has recorded a total of 16 building violations and 18 service requests across three owned parcels in the past seven years, indicating a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges. Recent service requests specifically related to building violations were generated in early 2025, with one closed case from March 2 and another from January 4. The ownership group has obtained two building permits in the same seven-year period and has been subject to four environmental enforcement actions, though the specific nature and impact of these violations and enforcement actions on resident experience are not detailed in the records.

Risk rating

How 923 S Carpenter St's risk score is calculated
