Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2049 W 47th Street in the New City neighborhood, owned by Celso Garcia, has a documented history dating back to its 1905 construction. In recent years, the property has experienced a notable pattern of building violations and service requests, particularly throughout 2025 and into 2026. Most significantly, as of May 2026, there are three unresolved complaint-driven building violations still open against the property. The building has also generated multiple 311 service requests, specifically between November 2025 and June 2026, including three separate instances of garbage cart maintenance issues in early 2026, and three building violation reports in December 2025 and January 2026, all of which have been marked as closed. While the building's age and location naturally generate some maintenance concerns, the concentration of recent violations and service requests suggests ongoing property management challenges, particularly regarding building maintenance and waste management systems.

Risk rating

How 2049 W 47Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
