Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 1242 W 64th Street in the Englewood neighborhood, owned by Greenside Property Management, has been standing since 1908. The property has experienced several significant issues over the past seven years, with a total of seven building code violations and two 311 service requests on record. Most concerning are the six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations from July 2022 and February 2023, which suggest ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. More recently, in 2025, there have been two service requests: a water lead test kit request that remains open and a leak check request that has been marked as closed. The presence of open violations from both 2022 and 2023, along with the recent lead water testing request, indicates potential health and safety concerns that may affect resident wellbeing.

Risk rating

How 1242 W 64Th 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
