Initial analysis

The property at 2500 E 109th Street is a two-unit residential building located in the South Deering neighborhood, owned by Octavio Escobar, and constructed in 1906. The building's recent service request history from 2016 through mid-2026 shows relatively minimal activity, with a total of seven documented complaints or requests. Most notably, there is an active open request from June 2026 regarding garbage cart maintenance. The spring of 2026 saw a cluster of street lighting issues, with three complaints in quick succession (one about a street light being on during the day and two about street lights being out), all of which were ultimately resolved. Other recent maintenance matters include a tree debris clean-up request from July 2025 and a closed fly dumping complaint from July 2024. While the building has an older environmental complaint on record from October 2007 regarding hazardous materials, suggesting that some form of environmental monitoring may have been necessary in the past, this incident appears to be an isolated occurrence from over 15 years ago.

Risk rating

How 2500 E 109Th 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.
