Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 636 W 62nd Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Vivian L. Arnette, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1888. The property has experienced consistently minimal formal complaints over the past seven years, with only one recorded building code violation dating from August 2019, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building's service request history over this period shows activity primarily related to waste management issues, with three missed garbage pick-up complaints filed between 2024-2026, though most of these issues were subsequently resolved. Other service requests include a street cleaning request, a tree emergency, and a water lead test kit request, with the latter remaining open as of October 2023. The combined record of eight service requests suggests regular maintenance needs, though potentially more concerning is the combination of an unresolved building code violation and an open water lead test kit request, which together indicate possible outstanding safety and compliance concerns.

Risk rating

How 636 W 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

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.
