AI summary

The three-unit residential property at 2232 W 54th Place in Gage Park, owned by Jorge Torres and built in 1913, has experienced some notable incidents in recent years, particularly regarding building maintenance and safety concerns. Most significantly, in 2018, the property received multiple violations related to its status as a vacant building, with four separate citations issued between April and October of that year. These violations cited failures to secure and maintain the vacant building and the requirement for a watchman, though it's noteworthy that all these violations were ultimately dismissed through city non-suit proceedings with no fines imposed. More recently, the building has had three 311 service requests in 2024, including two tree trimming requests in October (though the service is no longer being accepted) and a resolved complaint regarding a vicious animal in July. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 13 service requests under its ownership, with three requests for the specific property address and ten requests potentially relating to other parcels owned by Torres. While the vacant building violations in 2018 suggest previous maintenance challenges, there have been no documented violations or safety issues in recent years, though the address has experienced some ongoing maintenance-related service requests.

Risk rating

How 2232 W 54Th Pl 1'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.
