Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1512 W 62nd Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Benita M Strong, is a century-old property constructed in 1898. Over the past seven years, the property has generated four documented 311 service requests, with the most recent occurring in February 2026 concerning a check for a potential leak. Notably, there is an open request from October 2025 for a water lead test kit, which warrants attention given the implications for water quality and resident safety. The building has also experienced some maintenance and environmental issues, including a tree trimming request (which is no longer being accepted) in February 2025, and a dead animal removal request in August 2024, both of which have been resolved. While the number of service requests is relatively limited for a two-unit building over this time span, the open water lead test kit request and recent leak investigation should be monitored for potential impact on resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 1512 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

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.
