Initial analysis

The 15-unit residential building at 1217 E 72nd Street in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by CAMELEO OZB 1 LLC, has a documented history dating back to 1922. The property has experienced some significant maintenance challenges in recent years, most notably with an unresolved cluster of building code violations reported in December 2025, which remain open as of October 2023. This building has accumulated a total of 16 building violations over the past seven years, alongside 20 service requests through the 311 system, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance issues. While there have been two building permits issued in this period, the most concerning pattern appears to be the cluster of complaints and violations related to the building's condition, including a building violation reported in both November 2025 and July 2025. The property's service history also shows occasional issues with the surrounding area, including reports of an abandoned vehicle and a stray animal, though these are external to the building itself. The presence of a scofflaw violation in the records suggests an additional layer of regulatory noncompliance, though specific details are not provided in the summary of violations.

Risk rating

How 1217 E 72Nd 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
2ndpercentile
