Initial analysis

The nine-unit apartment building at 436 E 72nd Street in the Grand Crossing neighborhood is a century-old structure owned by Bloom Real Estate LLP. In recent years, the property has faced significant challenges, with an alarming total of 41 building code violations recorded over the past seven years. Of particular concern is the pattern of open, unresolved violations, with six recent complaints documented in late 2023 and December 2025, suggesting ongoing compliance issues that have not been addressed. The building has also generated 13 311 service requests in the same period, including several building violation reports in late 2025 - one of which remains open as of January 2026 - though some requests were for unrelated matters such as an abandoned vehicle complaint and general information inquiries. The concentration of both building code violations and service requests indicates a property that has experienced persistent maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges, with the most recent violations suggesting that these issues may still be unresolved.

Risk rating

How 436 E 72Nd 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
2ndpercentile
