Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 265 W 24th Street in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood, owned by Gene Ming Lee, has been standing since 1888 and has experienced a modest number of service requests over the past seven years. The property's service record from 2024-2026 shows a recurring issue with street lighting, with four documented complaints about non-functioning street lights in 2025, including three reported between August and November of that year, plus an earlier complaint in April 2024. Additionally, there was one incident of graffiti requiring removal in April 2025. While these maintenance issues appear to have been addressed, as all complaints are marked as closed, the frequency of street lighting problems in 2025 suggests an ongoing infrastructure challenge in the immediate area during that period. The building's overall service request history shows no major safety incidents or significant resident experience issues beyond these environmental concerns.

Risk rating

How 265 W 24Th 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.
