Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2024 W James Street in the New City neighborhood is a century-old property owned by Gabriela Diaz, having been constructed in 1906. The building's service request history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only one graffiti removal request logged in April 2024, which has since been closed. While the property's individual service request history is quite limited, it's worth noting that the owner, Gabriela Diaz, has had significantly more documented interactions with city services across three total parcels, with a recorded 23 service requests over the same seven-year period. However, the specific nature and impact of these additional requests on resident experience or building conditions are not detailed in the available records.

Risk rating

How 2024 W James 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.
