Initial analysis

The 300-unit residential building at 2135 W Jackson in Chicago's United Center neighborhood, owned by Related Cos Accounting, was constructed in 1987 and has experienced notable maintenance and safety challenges in recent years. The property has accumulated 35 building violations and 193 service requests over the past seven years, with particularly concerning current conditions marked by multiple open violations from July and May 2025 following routine inspections. The building has also faced persistent pest control issues, with multiple rodent complaints filed in May 2026, though these were subsequently closed. Historical records show a complaint about air pollution in 2021, which was investigated but resulted in no violations being found, and a noise complaint dating back to 2006. The building's maintenance history includes a total of 125 violations and 483 service requests under its current ownership, with minimal recent permit activity (just 8 permits issued in the past seven years). While some violations have been resolved, the presence of multiple open violations from mid-2025 suggests ongoing regulatory compliance issues that may impact resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 2135 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
