Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 1108 W 61st Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood is a 126-year-old structure currently owned by Willie Parker. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 13 service requests to the city's 311 system, with the majority of these complaints related to vehicles and environmental issues in the surrounding area. Most notably, there was a cluster of abandoned vehicle complaints recorded between October 2024 and April 2025, with three separate reports regarding this issue, suggesting a potential pattern of vehicle-related challenges in the immediate vicinity. Additional service requests in the past two years include a fly dumping complaint and a tree debris clean-up request, both of which were successfully resolved. The property has also had minor infrastructure-related service requests such as a blue recycling cart request in September 2024. While the building itself shows no major structural or safety violations on record, the surrounding area has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles and illegal dumping that required municipal intervention.

Risk rating

How 1108 W 61St 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.
