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 two-unit residential building at 611 W 43rd Street in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Elaine Mitchell and constructed in 2002, has experienced a notably high rate of traffic-related incidents near its location in recent years. Between 2025 and 2026, there were five documented complaints regarding non-functioning traffic signals in the vicinity, with all but one being routed through the standard 311 City Services channel and successfully closed. The recent pattern of service requests suggests a concerning recurring issue with traffic signal reliability in the surrounding area, though it's worth noting that these incidents occurred external to the building itself. In terms of general building management and maintenance, there have been only two building permits issued in the past seven years and a modest total of 24 service requests, with the most recent being an open request from May 2026 for tree debris cleanup. While this service request indicates attention to property maintenance, the overall permit and service request activity appears relatively moderate for a building of this age and size.

Risk rating

How 611 W 43Rd 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
