Initial analysis

The 247-unit residential building at 2359 W Jackson in the United Center neighborhood, constructed in 1981 and currently owned by Reilly MTG Inc, has a concerning track record over the past seven years, with 68 building violations recorded. Most notably, there are multiple unresolved periodic routine inspection violations dating from June 11, 2026, that require attention. The building has experienced consistent issues requiring municipal intervention, with 80 service requests filed through 311, including six building violation reports in early 2026 alone (February through May). While some maintenance concerns have been addressed, as evidenced by the resolution of a graffiti removal request and a street light outage, the volume of building violations and service requests suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance. Additionally, the property has faced minimal environmental scrutiny, with only one documented complaint in recent years (November 2025) regarding water pollution, which was investigated and found to have no merit, and an older asbestos work order from April 2009. The persistent nature of the violations, particularly the unresolved periodic routine inspection citations, indicates there may be ongoing issues affecting the building's condition and habitability.

Risk rating

How 2359 W Jackson Chicago'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
0thpercentile

Out of 300 buildings in this neighborhood, 300 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
