Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2340 W Polk St in Little Italy/UIC, owned by Irene Mojica, has been standing since 1894 and is part of a four-parcel ownership group. The property's recent history shows notable clusters of issues in 2025, particularly in May of that year, when there were four resolved air pollution complaints within a span of two weeks, followed by a rat complaint and graffiti removal request in May 2026. The building has experienced some infrastructure challenges in the surrounding area, with two street pothole complaints filed in April-May 2026, though these were external to the property itself. While the total of 19 service requests and 4 environmental complaints in the past seven years might suggest ongoing maintenance and environmental monitoring, it's worth noting that 2025 was an unusually active year for complaints, particularly regarding air quality issues. The property has had an average of approximately 3 service requests per year over the past seven years, with a significant spike in environmental complaints in 2025, though this pattern appears to have normalized in subsequent years.

Risk rating

How 2340 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.

Neighborhood percentile
