Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 2420 W 46th Street in Brighton Park, owned by Maria Alejo, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. Of particular concern are six unresolved building code violations recorded on April 27, 2022, as part of a complaint-driven inspection process, along with one additional unresolved violation from January 25, 2022. The property has generated a total of 15 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2026, including reports of garbage cart maintenance and both street and alley light outages. Between 2025 and 2026, the building's management was responsive to infrastructure maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple closed service requests regarding street and alley lighting issues, as well as a recycling cart request in August 2025. While some exterior maintenance issues have been promptly addressed, the outstanding building code violations from 2022 represent the most significant ongoing concern regarding the property's compliance with safety and building standards.

Risk rating

How 2420 W 46Th 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.
