Lower West Side, Chicago IL 60616 17213020160000 3 units · 1891

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 three-unit residential building at 713 W 17th Place in Chicago's Lower West Side neighborhood, owned by Donaji A Gomez, has an interesting history dating back to its construction in 1891. The property, which includes two parcels under the current ownership, has maintained a relatively low incidence of recorded issues or service requests over the past seven years, with only three total 311 service requests associated with the owner and just one building permit filed during this period. However, the most concerning entry in the building's recent history is an open building violation reported on March 24, 2026, which remains unresolved as of now. This violation represents the only 311 service request logged for the property in this seven-year period, and it's worth noting that building violations can potentially impact resident safety and comfort. While the property's documented service request history is minimal compared to many buildings of similar age and size, the presence of an open violation warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 713 W 17Th 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
