Unlock complete reportThe two-unit building at 315 W 59th Place in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, currently owned by Reginald Clemons, has a long history dating back to 1886. In recent years, the property has garnered attention due to multiple unresolved issues, most notably a series of six open violation cases resulting from a complaint-driven inspection conducted on October 15, 2019, which remain unresolved as of October 2023. The building's recent history shows significant activity in 2024, with at least six service requests related to the property, including multiple instances of fly dumping complaints, vacant lot cleaning requests, and an abandoned vehicle complaint - all of which have been resolved through city services. These recent service requests, while addressed, suggest ongoing management and maintenance challenges in the surrounding property and public space areas, though they are primarily related to external conditions rather than structural or building safety issues. The distinct patterns of complaints in 2019 and 2024 might indicate varying concerns about property conditions and neighborhood management throughout recent years, with the most pressing outstanding issues being the 2019 building code violations.

How 315 W 59Th Pl'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
