Grand Crossing, Chicago IL 60619 20271080390000 6 units · 1923

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The property at 122 E 73rd Street in Grand Crossing is a 6-unit residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Nathaniel R. Howse Jr. The building's recent service request history from the past seven years (2016-2023) shows limited activity, with a total of four 311 service requests recorded between 2025 and 2026. Notably, all these requests were external to the building itself and related to street conditions or traffic concerns, including two pothole complaints (one in March 2025 and another in April 2026), an abandoned vehicle complaint (September 2025), and a street light outage (April 2026). All reported issues have been marked as closed, but it's worth noting that these external infrastructure matters, while not directly affecting the building's condition, could impact resident access and neighborhood safety. The building's maintenance records show no reported complaints or service requests directly related to the property's structural integrity, systems, or resident services during this period, which could indicate relatively stable building conditions, though the limited data span should be considered.

Risk rating

How 122 E 73Rd 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
24thpercentile

Out of 2750 buildings in this neighborhood, 2090 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
