825 W 69Th Chicago

Englewood, Chicago IL 60621 20204230010000 6 units · 1912

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 825 W 69th Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Lauren Duffy, is a century-old property constructed in 1912. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of six 311 service requests, though none of these documented complaints directly pertained to the building's internal conditions or tenant safety. The most recent service request, dated January 26, 2026, was for ice and snow removal, while two sign repair requests for one-way signs were filed and resolved in June 2025. In early 2025, the property owner submitted two tree-related requests, one for trimming (January 8) and another for planting (September 23), though it's worth noting that the trimming request was submitted under a program that is no longer accepting such requests. The building's permit activity over the past seven years has been minimal, with only two permits recorded. Looking further back, there was an air pollution complaint registered against the property in March 2011, though no further environmental issues have been reported in the more recent seven-year period.

Risk rating

How 825 W 69Th Chicago'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
9thpercentile

Out of 4934 buildings in this neighborhood, 4490 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
