Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1886 building at 2413 S Western Ave in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood, currently owned by Rons Temporary Help, has experienced several maintenance and environmental issues over the past two decades. Most notably, during 2024-2026, there was a recurring pattern of graffiti problems, with six documented removal requests, including two consecutive requests in October 2025. More recently, in March 2026, there was one rodent-related complaint that was subsequently addressed and closed. Looking further back, the building experienced two significant environmental incidents in 2002, involving air pollution and hazardous materials concerns, though these issues date back over two decades and predate the 311 service request records from the past seven years. While the building has had multiple service requests, it's worth noting that many of these are related to external maintenance rather than internal building concerns, and all documented service requests have been officially closed.

Risk rating

How 2413 S Western 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
42ndpercentile
