Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 two-unit residential building at 1280 W 73rd Street in Englewood, owned by Frances Jones, is a century-old property constructed in 1911. The building's documented service request history for the past seven years shows a total of ten 311 calls, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in early 2026, including two separate no water complaints at the end of January 2026, which could indicate potential water supply infrastructure problems affecting residents' basic services. This was followed by a general inquiry call to 311, though the nature of the inquiry is not specified in the records. During the spring of 2026, two pothole complaints were filed in the vicinity of the property, indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance needs in the street area, though these street-related issues are separate from building-specific concerns and were handled by the Department of Transportation. While the building has maintained consistent documentation of service requests, the recent water supply issues in early 2026 stand out as the most significant maintenance concern directly affecting residents' quality of life within the property.

Risk rating

How 1280 W 73Rd St 1'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
48thpercentile
