Initial analysis

The property at 2137 W Coulter St (3137) is a two-unit residential building located in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood, owned by Romelia Anaya and constructed in 1910. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced several significant issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there are currently two unresolved building code violations as of September 2024, which were documented through complaint-driven inspections. The building's recent service history has also been marked by concerns related to water quality, with two water lead test requests made in early 2025 - one for a test kit and another for a test visit - indicating potential lead contamination concerns in the water supply. Additionally, there have been two previously documented building violations and three other service requests related to building violations between 2024 and 2025, though these previous violations are now closed. Given the age of the building and the nature of the recent violations, particularly the ongoing water quality concerns, this property presents several maintenance and safety issues that should be monitored closely.

Risk rating

How 2137 W Coulter St 3137'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.
