Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 2136 W 23rd Place in Chicago's Lower West Side, owned by 2307 S Leavitt Ptrsl Llc, is a 129-year-old structure built in 1894. The property has a minimal record of service requests over the past seven years, with only three incidents documented through the 311 system. The most recent activity pertains to a tree planting request made in April 2026, which remains open. Prior to this, there were two service requests that have since been resolved: an ice and snow removal request from January 2026 and a recycling pick-up request from December 2025. Looking further back in history, there was an air pollution complaint recorded in February 1998, though there is no indication of its resolution status in the available data. The building's recent service request history suggests routine maintenance issues rather than any significant safety or habitability concerns, with all reported matters being typical of urban residential living.

Risk rating

How 2136 W 23Rd Pl'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
83rdpercentile
