Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1213 W 63rd Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Justin Grey and constructed in 1906, has a mixed record of maintenance and resident concerns over recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, the building underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections that resulted in building code violations, though all violations were promptly resolved. The property has experienced consistent issues requiring attention, with a total of 17 service requests from the owner recorded in the past seven years. These include five 311 service requests since 2024, such as two pothole complaints and a restaurant-related issue in November 2024. One of the most concerning historical incidents was a hazardous materials complaint filed in August 2001. The building's permit activity has been limited, with only one permit issued in the past seven years, suggesting minimal major improvements or renovations. The combined total of six building violations against the owner in the past seven years indicates ongoing compliance challenges, though the relatively quick resolution of the most recent violations may demonstrate improved responsiveness to building code enforcement.

Risk rating

How 1213 W 63Rd 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.

Neighborhood percentile
