AI summary

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 648 W 61st Place 2F in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Gloria Gladney Austin, has been standing since 1903 and has had minimal documented activity over the past seven years. The property's record shows only one building permit was issued during this period, which suggests limited structural modifications or improvements. The building has generated a total of 13 service requests through the city's 311 system, focusing primarily on tree-related issues, with six tree emergency reports filed between November 2025 and June 2026, three of which remain open as of June 2026. These recent tree emergencies appear to be the most pressing current concern. The only other service request on record was a street light outage reported in February 2026, which has since been resolved. The relatively low number of service requests and permits over this extended period could indicate either stable building conditions or potential underreporting of issues, though it's important to note that service request volume can vary widely between different buildings and neighborhoods.

Risk rating

How 648 W 61St Pl 2F'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.
