Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2300 W Adams St, owned by Christopher H Ryan and located in the United Center neighborhood, has been standing since 1903 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. The property has accumulated multiple unresolved building code violations, with the most recent set of complaint-driven inspections occurring in April 2025, along with six other open violations from September 2022, indicating ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. Over the past seven years, there have been 19 service requests made through the city's 311 system, including multiple recycling pickup requests in early 2026, a pothole complaint, and an abandoned vehicle complaint, all of which have been closed. A rodent baiting complaint from July 2025 suggests past concerns about pest control, though this particular issue appears to have been addressed. The building has also had one environmental complaint regarding air pollution in June 2025, which was investigated but no violations were found, and an earlier air pollution complaint from 1995. The significant number of open building code violations, particularly the recent cluster from 2025, warrants attention as these may impact resident safety and building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2300 W Adams 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
24thpercentile
