Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1843 W 34th Place in McKinley Park, owned by Cesar Ruiz, has experienced several notable events in 2026 that warrant attention. Most significantly, there has been a cluster of nuisance animal complaints, with three reported in close succession between May and June 2026, including two that remain open as of mid-June 2026. These animal-related issues appear to be an emerging pattern, though one complaint from late May was successfully resolved. Additionally, there are two open tree planting requests from late May 2026, which while not directly related to resident safety or comfort, indicate an effort to enhance the property's green space. The building's history shows relatively few issues in the previous seven years, with a total of 40 service requests recorded during this period, primarily concentrating in 2026, and only one building permit issued. The majority of the 311 service requests appear to be unrelated to structural or safety concerns, suggesting that while there are some ongoing issues, they may not significantly impact the property's overall condition.

Risk rating

How 1843 W 34Th 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

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.
