Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 239 W 23rd Street in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood, owned by Henry Quan, is a historic property dating back to 1888. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of four 311 service requests, all of which have been successfully resolved and closed. The most recent incidents, occurring in September and August 2025, were related to street lighting issues on public infrastructure, while an abandoned vehicle complaint from August 2025 represents the only non-lighting related service request. The record shows a pattern of street lighting concerns along the public roadway, with three such complaints in the latter half of 2024 through 2025, though all have been addressed by the Chicago Department of Transportation.

Risk rating

How 239 W 23Rd St'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.
