Initial analysis

The 3-unit residential building at 1411 E 71st Place in the South Shore neighborhood, owned by Christopher Jones, was constructed in 2004 and has had a notable number of incidents over the past seven years. Most concerning are the six unresolved building code violations recorded in early 2025, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections in January and February of that year, which suggest potential ongoing safety or maintenance issues. The property has also experienced two plumbing violations in January 2025, though these were subsequently closed. Additional service requests to 311 include a tree debris clean-up request (currently open as of May 2026), a closed street light complaint from September 2025, a resolved garbage cart maintenance issue from March 2025, and an information-only call in January 2025. The building's record shows a relatively high number of reported issues for a single property, including six building code violations and nine 311 service requests in total over the seven-year period, with the majority of recent incidents occurring in early 2025.

Risk rating

How 1411 E 71St Pl'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
50thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 1402 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
