Initial analysis

The 147-unit residential building at 2220 S Princeton in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood, owned by Chicago Community Development Corporation, was constructed in 2002 and has experienced several significant events over the past year and through its history. Most notably, the building currently has two unresolved periodic routine inspection violations as of June 2025. While eight periodic routine inspection violations were recorded in 2024, the majority of these were resolved by August 22 of that year. The property has also been subject to health and safety concerns, with a rodent baiting/rate complaint filed in September 2025, and a sewer cave-in issue reported in October 2024. Additional maintenance issues were documented in late 2024, including two street cleaning requests and two graffiti removal requests, all of which were subsequently closed.

Risk rating

How 2220 S Princeton 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.
