Chinatown, Chicago IL 60616 17282120290000 6 units · 1965

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 six-unit residential building at 2314 S Princeton Ave in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood, owned by Edward S Lim, has been standing since 1965 and has a relatively low service request history with only eight documented 311 calls over the past seven years. The most recent service request, dating to April 2026, involved a sewer cleaning inspection, though it was submitted through the Alderman's office rather than directly through the 311 system. The building's most immediate past concerns have involved regular municipal maintenance issues such as an uncleared sidewalk (December 2025), a street light outage (July 2025), and two stop sign repair requests (November 2024) that were handled by the Chicago Department of Transportation and have since been resolved. Notably, there is one open request from April 2025 regarding tree planting that remains outstanding. The building's overall maintenance record shows primarily routine municipal service requests rather than building-specific issues, with no documented complaints or service requests directly related to the building's internal systems or structures.

Risk rating

How 2314 S Princeton 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.

Neighborhood percentile
19thpercentile

Out of 319 buildings in this neighborhood, 258 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
