Initial analysis

The 46-unit, 93-year-old building at 1931 E 71st Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, currently owned by PP FIN CHICAGO 20 LLC, has a concerning record of recent issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there are currently six open complaint-driven inspection violations registered in April 2026, all of which remain unresolved. The building has recorded a total of 69 building violations and 32 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, indicating a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges. Recent 311 service requests from 2026 include a sidewalk inspection request (open), a building violation complaint (closed), and rodent baiting/rat complaint (closed), while two dead animal pick-up requests were recorded and resolved in 2025-2026. A sanitation code violation was also documented and closed in October 2025. Of historical note, there was an asbestos-related complaint filed in December 2005, though no subsequent asbestos-related issues have been reported. The building has only obtained six building permits in the past seven years, which is relatively low considering the number of violations and service requests on record.

Risk rating

How 1931 E 71St 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
0thpercentile
