Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 2314 E 70th Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1957, is currently owned by New Vistas Preservation LP and has been subject to multiple regulatory interventions in recent years. The most pressing concerns are a series of complaint-driven inspections conducted on March 6, 2026, which resulted in five open violations that remain unresolved as of the latest data. Additionally, there is an open periodic routine inspection violation from March 28, 2022, that has not yet been addressed. The building's compliance history shows a relatively high number of violations for both the building and its ownership group over the past seven years, with 20 building violations recorded for the property itself and a total of 77 violations attributed to the owner across seven parcels. The building has also generated 64 service requests to the 311 system during this period, indicating ongoing maintenance and operational issues. While two building permits were issued for the property in the last seven years, suggesting some level of authorized work, this is relatively minimal given the number of violations on record. Separate from the building-specific issues, there were two sign repair requests related to stop signs and other signage that were processed and closed by the Chicago Department of Transportation in March 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2314 E 70Th'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
12thpercentile
