Initial analysis

The property at 13657 S Brainard Ave is a two-unit building located in Chicago's Hegewisch neighborhood. Owned by Ramon Rinconeno, this 125-year-old structure was built in 1898 and has maintained a relatively low level of documented service requests and permits over the past seven years, with only four 311 service requests and a single building permit on record. The most recent service request, submitted in August 2025, involves a water lead test kit request and remains open as of this report's date. Prior to this, there were three service requests in 2024, including a tree emergency and a blue recycling cart request, both of which were successfully resolved, as well as a tree debris clean-up request that was handled through the Alderman's office. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one permit recorded in the past seven years, though this alone doesn't necessarily indicate any concerns about maintenance or compliance.

Risk rating

How 13657 S Brainard Ave'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.
