Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 217 W 22nd Place in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood, owned by David Wu, has a long history dating back to 1889. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 23 service requests associated with the property, with 14 of those originating from the city’s 311 system. The most recent recorded activities, as of 2026, include various maintenance and public safety issues in the immediate vicinity of the building, with four graffiti removal requests, one street light outage complaint, and two other service requests related to parking code enforcement and garbage cart maintenance - all of which have been marked as closed. The concentration of service requests in 2025, particularly during September of that year when multiple graffiti incidents were reported, suggests there was a period of increased maintenance needs in the building's surroundings. While all recorded service requests have been resolved, the nature of these issues primarily relates to external infrastructure and maintenance rather than internal building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 217 W 22Nd 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
