AI summary

This two-unit residential building, located at 2336 W 21st Street in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood, is an 1885 structure currently owned by Martina Andrade. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents, with a total of six service requests filed through the 311 system, all of which have been resolved. The most recent service requests, from December 2025, were for issues typical of urban environments and included a Divvy bike parking complaint and an abandoned vehicle complaint. Notably, there appears to be no record of any building-specific maintenance or safety issues in the 311 database, as all recorded incidents relate to street-level concerns rather than building management matters. The property has experienced several street lighting-related issues, with two documented cases of lighting problems in mid-2024 (one in the alley and one street light), as well as incidents of graffiti requiring removal (two requests made on the same date in December 2024). The relatively low volume of complaints and their nature suggests routine urban maintenance rather than any building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 2336 W 21St 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
