61 E Banks Chicago

Gold Coast, Chicago IL 60610 17031080180000 58 units · 2018

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 61 E Banks building in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood is a 58-unit residential property managed by Draper & Kramer that was constructed in 2018. Over its seven-year history, there have been relatively few service requests and permits, with only five 311 service requests recorded and one building permit on file. The most recent service requests include a water lead test kit request from March 2024 that remains open, as well as two sanitation-related issues (a sanitation code violation and a building violation) recorded in November 2024, both of which have been closed. Additional incidents include a dead bird report and a stop sign repair request from 2025, both of which have been resolved. The building experienced a resolved noise complaint in September 2024, marking the only environmental complaint on record. While the property's service request history is not excessively long, it is worth noting that multiple sanitation-related issues were reported in the same month, and the open water lead test kit request may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 61 E Banks 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
14thpercentile

Out of 90 buildings in this neighborhood, 77 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
