Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 2220 E 69th Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, built in 1956 and currently owned by New Vistas Preservation LP, has experienced several notable events in recent years that impact resident experience and safety. Most concerning is the unresolved periodic routine inspection violation from April 2026, which represents an ongoing compliance issue. The building has a documented history of plumbing-related problems, with three separate plumbing violation reports filed in October 2025, suggesting persistent infrastructure challenges. Over the past seven years, there have been multiple building code violations and service requests, totaling 77 violations and 64 service requests under the current ownership, though many of these have been resolved through compliance actions.

Risk rating

How 2220 E 69Th'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.

Neighborhood percentile
