Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2630 W 42nd Street in Brighton Park, owned by Fernando J Dominguez, has been standing since 1923 and has experienced several notable service requests over the past seven years. The most recent activity includes two open requests from 2026: one regarding street light pole damage and another for tree planting. The property has seen a decrease in service requests over time, with four of the six total incidents occurring in 2024-2025, including a rodent complaint, blue recycling cart request, tree debris clean-up, and stray animal complaint, all of which have been resolved. While the building's service request history shows typical urban maintenance issues, the recent focus appears to be shifting towards street infrastructure and greenery concerns, as evidenced by the open requests for street lighting and tree planting in 2026. The relatively low number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling only six, suggests a generally stable building maintenance record during this period.

Risk rating

How 2630 W 42Nd St'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.
