Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1800 W 21st Place in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by R & E Rodriguez, has been standing since 1906. The property's recent seven-year record shows a relatively low frequency of issues, with a total of 20 service requests and only one environmental complaint. The majority of service requests in 2025-2026 have been related to street lighting concerns, with three documented cases of street lights being out, along with one instance of graffiti removal and one complaint about an open fire hydrant, all of which have been resolved. The sole environmental complaint on record was filed in July 2024 regarding air pollution, though investigations found no violations, with the case being resolved within three days.

Risk rating

How 1800 W 21St Pl'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
72ndpercentile
