AI summary

The 2-unit residential building at 3911 W 59th Place in West Lawn, owned by Alfonso Rangel, has been in operation since 1949. Over the past seven years, there have been nine documented 311 service requests associated with this property, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring in mid-2026 when the building experienced recurring rodent issues, with three rat complaints filed between May and June of that year. Prior to these rodent issues, the property faced several other maintenance concerns, including water in the basement (September 2025), an abandoned vehicle complaint (April 2025), and a street light outage (April 2025). While all reported issues have been officially closed, the recurring nature of the rodent complaints in 2026, along with the water problem in 2025, suggests some potential challenges with maintaining basic habitability standards. The building's service request history covers a range of issues, though none appear to be currently unresolved as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 3911 W 59Th Pl 1St'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
