Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 1422 E 68th Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by SSPH PORTFOLIO 1 LLC, is a century-old property constructed in 1910. The building's recent history over the past seven years has been marked by notable concerns, particularly two unresolved building code violations recorded in October 2021, which warrant attention due to their open status. The property has generated a total of 11 311 service requests in this period, with the majority (seven) between June and October 2025, including sanitation code violations and multiple tree trim requests, though many of these are now no longer being accepted. Additionally, there appears to be a relatively high volume of service requests linked to the owner across three parcels, totaling 39 requests. The building's violation history shows two building code violations specific to the property, while the owner company has a total of ten violations on record. The only building permit recorded in the past seven years was issued in 2021.

Risk rating

How 1422 E 68Th 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
19thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 2271 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
