Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2510 S Blue Island Ave in Chicago's Lower West Side is an aged structure dating back to 1895, currently owned by Alma Herrera. The building's documented service history over the past 7 years shows relatively minimal maintenance and incident reporting activity, with just three 311 service requests filed during this period. All these recent requests were related to external maintenance issues, specifically two instances of graffiti removal in 2025 and 2026, as well as a missed garbage pick-up complaint in 2024, all of which have been resolved according to their closed status. Looking further back into the building's history, a significant environmental complaint was filed in August 1997 regarding toxic hazardous materials, though there are no subsequent records of related issues or ongoing concerns.

Risk rating

How 2510 S Blue Island 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
55thpercentile

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.
