Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 212 E 71st Street in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by CTLTC 008002373113, was constructed in 1927 and has experienced several notable incidents in the past seven years. Most concerning is the recent pattern of unresolved periodic routine inspection violations from October 26, 2023, with six violations documented on this date alone. While these inspections are typically standard procedure, the fact that they remain open as of the current date suggests potential ongoing compliance issues. The building's recent history shows a variety of maintenance and service requests between 2024-2026, including sanitation code violations, rodent issues, graffiti removal, and even a dead animal pick-up request, all of which were eventually closed. Despite these service requests indicating various maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that only one building permit has been recorded in the past seven years, though the specific nature and relevance of this permit is not detailed in the available records. The combination of recent open inspection violations and the building's history of maintenance-related service requests may warrant attention, though many of these issues have been resolved through the normal course of city services.

Risk rating

How 212 E 71St Chicago'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
4thpercentile

Out of 2750 buildings in this neighborhood, 2640 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
