Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2818 W 40th Place in Brighton Park, owned by Manuel Mancilla, was constructed in 1919 and has had a somewhat concerning history over the past several years. Most notably, in late 2024, the property underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections that resulted in five building code violations, though records indicate these were resolved. Looking at the broader seven-year history, there have been a total of 14 building violations and 16 service requests through the 311 system. While the specific nature of the violations isn't detailed in the records, the most recent pattern is particularly concerning, with four service requests in late 2024 alone, including two graffiti removal requests, a sanitation code violation, and an alley sewer inspection request in December 2024. A plumbing violation was also recorded in September 2024. The building appears to have had periodic issues requiring municipal intervention, though the prompt resolution of most violations suggest some responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The property has maintained regular documentation of violations and service requests, though the clustering of recent sanitation and maintenance issues may indicate some ongoing challenges with building upkeep or environmental conditions in the immediate area.

Risk rating

How 2818 W 40Th 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.
