Initial analysis

The 40-unit residential building at 2218 E 68th Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood has experienced several concerning issues over the past seven years, most notably a cluster of unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations in March 2026 that remain open as of October 2023. These building code violations, which appeared along with additional building violation complaints in March and February 2026, suggest ongoing regulatory compliance challenges at the property. The building has generated a significant level of municipal service interaction, with 32 total 311 service requests over the seven-year period, including multiple building violation reports and plumbing issues. Other service requests in 2026 included calls about an abandoned vehicle, an injured animal, and a general information inquiry, though these were all closed. Despite these numerous service requests and violations, records indicate only one building permit has been issued in the past seven years, which could warrant attention given the frequency of reported issues.

Risk rating

How 2218 E 68Th 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
