Initial analysis

The property at 2342 W Polk Street in Chicago's Little Italy/UIC neighborhood is a three-unit residential building owned by Irene Mojica and constructed in 1894. The building's recent history from early 2025 shows a concerning pattern of graffiti incidents, with six separate graffiti removal requests submitted and resolved between February 20 and March 20, 2025. Prior to these recent events, the building had relatively few documented issues, with only 15 total 311 service requests in the past seven years, which is notably low for a three-unit building. The property's ownership record indicates a total of four parcels owned by Mojica, with a cumulative total of 43 service requests across all parcels in the past seven years, though it's worth noting that not all of these requests necessarily pertain to the 2342 W Polk Street address specifically. The owner has also had four environmental complaints logged in the same seven-year period, though specific details about these complaints are not provided in the available data. The building's documented service history suggests the need for improved maintenance and monitoring of exterior surfaces, given the recent cluster of graffiti incidents in early 2025.

Risk rating

How 2342 W Polk 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.
