Initial analysis

The three-story, 39-unit residential building at 2138 E 75th Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, built in 1927 and currently owned by CTLTC, has had a relatively minimal record of issues over the past seven years. The building has three documented code violations, with two open unresolved violations as of March 2021, and one resolved violation from November 2019. The property has experienced very limited service requests, with only one 311 service call recorded in recent years - a stray animal complaint filed in July 2024 that has since been closed. In terms of building permits, only one has been issued in the past seven years, and the ownership records show a single total parcel under the current ownership. The most pressing concern for current and prospective tenants would be the two open violations from March 2021, which have remained unresolved for over two and a half years, though it's worth noting that such violations can vary widely in nature and severity.

Risk rating

How 2138 E 75Th 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
9thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 2552 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
