Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1016 E 62nd Street in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Wolcott Real Property, has been documented since its construction in 1894. The property has experienced notable challenges over the past seven years, most significantly evidenced by an alarming total of 237 building violations recorded under the current ownership. While the building has received some attention through 12 permitted improvements during this period, these appear limited compared to the scale of documented violations. The property's recent maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with waste management, as evidenced by multiple garbage cart maintenance requests in both 2025 and 2026, and one rat complaint in 2024. Additional maintenance concerns have been raised through the 311 system, including an open sign repair request from April 2025 and an alley pothole complaint from July 2024, though these appear to be less critical than the building violation concerns. Despite the relatively low number of 311 service requests (6 total) for this specific address compared to the owner's broader record of 282 service requests across 31 parcels, the concentration of recent service requests relating to waste management and pest control suggests persistent challenges with property maintenance and sanitation.

Risk rating

How 1016 E 62Nd 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.

Neighborhood percentile
23rdpercentile

Out of 1887 buildings in this neighborhood, 1453 are predicted to be safer.
