AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 1348 W 61st Street in the Englewood neighborhood, owned by Lorraine Blackburn, has a documented history going back to its construction in 1883. Over the past seven years, the property has generated six 311 service requests, with the most recent being two stray animal complaints filed in April 2026. Prior to these, the building experienced three service requests in 2024, including a Divvy bike parking complaint in September and two tree trimming requests in June of that year. A street light outage complaint was also filed in April 2024. Looking further back, the building had an air pollution complaint filed in September 2002, though this appears to be an isolated incident from two decades ago and not directly related to the current ownership or building conditions. The service request pattern shows relatively minor municipal issues, primarily related to city services rather than building-specific complaints, and all recorded 311 requests have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 1348 W 61St St 2'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.
