Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2418 W 45th Street in Brighton Park, owned by Javier Salgado, has been standing since 1918 and is currently maintaining its historical status as a two-unit structure. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced minimal documented issues, with only one building code violation recorded in October 2019 related to a permit inspection, which remains open and unresolved. In terms of service requests through the 311 system, there have been two recent incidents at the property: a garbage cart maintenance request in May 2025 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in October 2024, both of which have been closed. It's worth noting that while the owner records show a total of 10 service requests, this figure seems inconsistent with the two documented 311 service requests available in the system. The building's permit history shows only one permit issued in the past seven years, which is consistent with the limited number of violations and service requests.

Risk rating

How 2418 W 45Th 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.
