Initial analysis

The 5-unit residential building at 59 E Bellevue Place in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, owned by Roger Berman, has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years, with particular concerning patterns emerging in recent years. Built in 1878, this property has had minimal documented issues, with only seven recorded 311 service requests in total, though all have been marked as closed. The most pressing concerns revolve around rodent problems, with two rat complaints filed in October and June 2026, and a dead animal pickup request in October 2026. There appears to be some confusion regarding waste management, with a blue recycling cart request submitted in November 2025. Environmental maintenance issues included a tree trimming request in August 2024, though it's noted that this type of request is no longer being accepted. A consumer fraud complaint was also logged in June 2025. While the overall number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this age and size, the recent clustering of rodent-related issues merits attention, given their potential impact on resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 59 E Bellevue Pl'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
78thpercentile
