Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2139 W 50th Place in Chicago's New City neighborhood is a 1901 structure currently owned by Cecilia Ramirez. Over the past seven years, the property has generated 11 service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most recent concerns predominantly relating to street and alley lighting issues, including an open alley light complaint from June 2026 and a recently closed street light outage from April 2026. The property has also experienced some infrastructure and maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a street light pole damage complaint (closed), a sanitation code violation (closed), and a garbage cart maintenance request (closed) in late 2025. While these recent issues suggest ongoing maintenance concerns, it is worth noting that an environmental complaint regarding hazardous materials dating back to July 2007 appears to be the only historical incident on record. The data indicates that the building has faced consistent but manageable maintenance issues over recent years, with no reported violations or serious incidents directly impacting resident safety or habitability in the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 2139 W 50Th Pl'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.
