Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2421 W 46th St in Brighton Park, owned by E Fraire & E Calleja, has been standing since 1903 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The most significant incident occurred in February 2020, when multiple complaint-driven inspections were conducted at the property, resulting in six documented building code violations. Fortunately, all of these violations were resolved, demonstrating responsive property management in addressing the identified issues. The building has had minimal service requests through the 311 system, with only four recorded in the past seven years. More recent activity in 2025 was primarily related to tree-related issues, including two emergency situations and one debris cleanup request. The most recent interaction with 311 was an information-only call in March 2026. While the property has experienced some violations and service calls, particularly in 2020, the resolution of those violations and the relatively low frequency of complaints in recent years suggest improved conditions, though ongoing maintenance of the property's exterior (as evidenced by multiple tree-related service requests) appears to be a recurring concern.

Risk rating

How 2421 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
