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 three-unit residential building at 2608 S Wentworth Ave, located in Chicago's Armour Square neighborhood, is an 1891 structure currently owned by Philip Moy. Over the past seven years, the building has generated three documented service requests through the city's 311 system, with these cases occurring between March 2024 and March 2025 primarily involving street lighting issues and a sidewalk inspection. Specifically, two street light outages were reported and successfully resolved in 2024 and March 2025, while a sidewalk inspection request from March 2025 was also addressed. While the building's own service request record is relatively minimal, it's worth noting that the property's total owner record, encompassing five parcels, shows a significantly higher total of 47 service requests over the same seven-year period, indicating more frequent issues or concerns associated with the owner's broader property holdings beyond the single building in question.

Risk rating

How 2608 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.

Neighborhood percentile
24thpercentile

Out of 508 buildings in this neighborhood, 386 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
