Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 633 W 59th Street in Englewood, owned by Gerardo Ramos, is a historic structure dating back to 1899. The property has experienced 17 documented service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most significant concentration of issues occurring in late 2025 and early 2026. During this recent period, there were four consecutive ice and snow removal requests between November 2025 and January 2026, suggesting potential challenges with winter weather maintenance. Additionally, there were two stray animal complaints reported, one in October 2025 and another in April 2026, indicating possible concerns with local wildlife or pet control in the area. Notably, there are no recorded complaints or service requests related to safety hazards, building maintenance issues, or resident disputes, which is a positive sign regarding the building's overall condition and management. It's important to consider that while the building's age is notable, the documented service requests primarily relate to weather-related incidents and neighborhood wildlife concerns rather than structural or safety issues within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 633 W 59Th 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
