AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 610 W 49th Street in New City, Chicago, is a historic 1886 structure currently owned by James 5771. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of seven 311 service requests, with the most recent being an open request for tree planting submitted in October 2025.

While the service requests indicate regular interactions with city services, most of the issues have been promptly addressed and closed out, with the exception of the recent tree planting request.

Risk rating

How 610 W 49Th St 1 2'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.
