Initial analysis

The property at 941 E 52nd Street in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood is an 11-unit building constructed in 1908, currently owned by 941 E 52ND ST LLC. The building's documented history over the past seven years reveals two notable unresolved building code violations dating from September 4, 2019, which were identified through complaint-driven inspections. The property has generated a total of 14 service requests through the 311 system during this period. Most recently, in March 2026, there were three consecutive dead animal pick-up requests (all marked as closed), while October 2024 saw three service requests pertaining to abandoned vehicle complaints (all closed), and one alley pothole complaint (also closed). The building's earliest recorded issue was an air pollution complaint from April 30, 2008, though this specific environmental complaint appears to have been resolved or closed. The relatively recent clustering of animal-related service requests and vehicle complaints in early 2026 and late 2024 respectively suggest increased neighborhood activity or issues around the property during those periods, though these municipal service requests were appropriately addressed and closed.

Risk rating

How 941 E 52Nd Chicago'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
27thpercentile

Out of 417 buildings in this neighborhood, 304 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
