Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 1121 E 54th Street in Hyde Park, owned by Andrew Ferguson, is a historic structure dating back to 1893. The property has experienced a modest level of municipal service interaction over the past seven years, with a total of eight service requests recorded through the 311 system and only one building permit application. The most recent 311 service requests, from June 2026, involve an open garbage cart maintenance issue and a street light outage, both of which could potentially affect resident convenience and safety. In 2025, the building had several other maintenance-related service requests including a closed rodent baiting complaint, a closed tree removal inspection, and a closed street pothole complaint, indicating occasional challenges with the surrounding environment. Earlier service requests include a blue recycling cart request (closed in August 2024) and a previously unresolved street light issue, though the recent similar report suggests that street lighting may continue to be an area of concern. While the building's age and service request history suggest regular municipal interactions, the limited number of building permits and the historical nature of the structure itself warrant periodic attention to maintenance and infrastructure needs.

How 1121 E 54Th 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
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.
Out of 416 buildings in this neighborhood, 100 are predicted to be safer.
