702 E 88Th Chicago

Chatham, Chicago IL 60619 25032070150000 8 units · 1930

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 8-unit residential building at 702 E 88th Street in the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago, owned by Arnett Greene Canty, has been standing since 1930. Over the past seven years, there have been 14 recorded 311 service requests associated with the property. The most recent issues include a tree emergency and a street light outage in June 2026, with the latter still pending resolution. Earlier this year, in March 2026, a pothole complaint was addressed and closed. In 2025, several urban infrastructure issues were reported and subsequently resolved, including complaints about an abandoned vehicle (March), water on the street (January 31), and another street light outage (January 20). The building's service request history shows a pattern of municipal infrastructure concerns in the immediate vicinity, particularly regarding street lighting, though none of the recorded incidents directly pertain to the building's structural or operational conditions.

Risk rating

How 702 E 88Th 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
18thpercentile

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 1559 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.
