Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2241 S Wentworth Ave in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood, owned by Benetta Albanese, has been standing since 1891. The most notable recent pattern emerging from the property's service requests over the past seven years is a persistent issue with graffiti, with five documented graffiti removal requests between 2025 and 2026. Additionally, there have been three rodent-related complaints (two in April 2026 and one in June 2026) that required attention from the Alderman's office. While all fourteen service requests on record have been resolved (as indicated by their "Closed" status), the concentration of maintenance issues in recent months—particularly regarding graffiti and pest control—suggests ongoing challenges with neighborhood safety and building upkeep. The property's service request history shows no other types of complaints or violations in the past seven years, with all issues being addressed through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 2241 S Wentworth Ave'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.
