Initial analysis

The property at 2358 S Wentworth Ave in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood is a 5-unit building constructed in 1964, currently owned by Pui Yip Chiu. The building has experienced some notable challenges in recent years, particularly in 2026, when there were multiple service requests for graffiti removal and rodent baiting issues, with three rat complaints and three graffiti removal requests recorded between February and June 2026. The building also has one unresolved building code violation from September 2019, following a periodic routine inspection. The property owner has multiple parcels under their name, with a total of 11 building violations and 84 service requests registered in the past seven years. In terms of environmental enforcement, there were two significant violations in November 2013 related to process equipment operation instructions, for which the owner was subject to a $5,000 fine, though the disposition shows a default judgment resulting in a cancellation of the fine amount. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one building permit and four permits associated with the owner recorded in the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 2358 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.
