Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2916 S Wentworth Ave in Armour Square, owned by S&J Wentworth, was constructed in 2022. The property has experienced several notable issues in its short history, with particular attention needed on the most recent developments. Most concerningly, there are currently four unresolved violations on record from April 2026, stemming from a complaint-driven inspection. This cluster of open violations represents the most significant and recent compliance issue facing the building. The property has also had a resolved building violation from October 2021, and three 311 service requests over the past two years: an abandoned vehicle complaint in November 2024, and two more recent issues in 2026 including a building violation report and a garbage cart maintenance request, both of which have been closed. While the building is relatively new and has had only three permit requests on record, the pattern of complaints and violations, particularly the recent batch in 2026, suggests ongoing attention may be needed regarding building maintenance and compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 2916 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 508 buildings in this neighborhood, 478 are predicted to be safer.
