Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2105 S State Street in Chicago's Near South Side, owned by Robert Glick, has a significant record of unresolved building code violations, particularly in the most recent period. The property, constructed in 1888, currently has six open periodic routine inspection violations recorded between 2024 and 2025 that remain unresolved, suggesting ongoing compliance issues. The building's history includes 17 building violations and 28 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, though only one building permit has been issued during this period. While the recent 311 service requests (2025-2026) primarily relate to external issues such as potholes, sanitation violations, and sidewalk café complaints, there is a noticeable absence of tenant-specific complaints or service requests in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2105 S State St'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
59thpercentile

Out of 57 buildings in this neighborhood, 23 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
