Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 313 W 59th Place in Englewood, owned by Reginald Clemons, is a historic structure dating back to 1886. The property has experienced significant unresolved issues since a series of complaint-driven inspections in October 2019, with six open building code violations still pending resolution more than four years later. These violations represent the most pressing current concern regarding the building's condition and habitability. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of 12 building violations and 13 311 service requests associated with the property, including four 311 complaints in 2024 alone related to parking code enforcement, as well as incidents involving street lighting, abandoned vehicles, and water issues. While the building's historical record shows a single environmental complaint from 2006 regarding illegal dumping, it's worth noting that this was nearly two decades ago and appears to be an isolated incident. The combination of open building violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges at the property, though many of the service requests relate to external infrastructure issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 313 W 59Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
14thpercentile
