Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 857 E 63rd Place in Woodlawn, owned by James Clarke and constructed in 2019, is currently experiencing significant water-related infrastructure issues. Over the past seven months, there have been at least five documented incidents of water-related problems, including three sewer cave-in inspections in July 2024 and two complaints about water in the basement in April-May 2024, all of which have been officially closed. While the building has a relatively recent construction date of 2019, the frequency and nature of these water-related incidents suggest emerging infrastructure challenges. The building's permit history shows only one permit filed in the past seven years, though the owner has been associated with a total of ten 311 service requests across two parcels. The concentration of recent service requests related to water issues, particularly in a relatively new building, merits attention as the most significant pattern in the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 857 E 63Rd Pl'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.
