Initial analysis

The property at 1151 W 59th Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood is a four-unit, 1912 building currently owned by M Little. The building has a concerning pattern of unresolved building code violations, with eight open complaints recorded in both August 2023 and October 2019, all categorized as complaint-driven inspections. The persistence of these open violations, particularly in 2023, raises significant concerns about ongoing maintenance and safety conditions within the building. Over the past seven years, there have been 16 total 311 service requests associated with the property. The most recent service requests from late 2025 primarily involved issues affecting public infrastructure and areas surrounding the building, including multiple pothole complaints, graffiti removal requests, and a traffic signal concern, all of which have been properly closed. However, it's worth noting that these recent service requests are external to the building itself and do not directly address the property's internal conditions or the open building code violations.

Risk rating

How 1151 W 59Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
