South Shore, Chicago IL 60619 20262070140000

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family building at 1514 E 72nd Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by Katherine Santon, has shown some concerning recent patterns in its service request history. Built in 1919, this property has been the subject of three 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most significant being an open water lead test visit request initiated in January 2026, which raises potential health and safety concerns for current and future residents. The building experienced multiple rodent-related issues in 2025, with two rat complaints filed in January and August of that year, though these cases have since been closed. The property has generated two building permits in the past seven years, though specific details about these permits are not provided in the available data. While the age of the building is notable, the most pressing concern appears to be the recent water quality testing request, which could indicate either an ongoing investigation or monitoring process related to potential lead concerns.

Risk rating

How 1514 E 72Nd St 01F'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
85thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 421 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
