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 two-unit residential building at 57 W 72nd Street in the Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Tremaine Reeves, is an 1888 structure that has experienced notable plumbing and infrastructure challenges in recent years. Most concerning are the multiple water-related issues in early 2026, including a basement water complaint, a leak check request, and an active sewer cleaning inspection request, though one sewer-related issue from March 2026 has been closed. The building's maintenance record shows ten total service requests in the past seven years, with the most clustered around spring 2026, suggesting potential ongoing infrastructure concerns. Additional requests include a tree emergency in April 2026, though this was not directly related to the building's infrastructure, and an abandoned vehicle complaint from September 2025. The concentration of plumbing and sewer-related service requests, particularly in early 2026, stands out as the most significant pattern in the building's recent history, with all these issues being water or sewer-related.

Risk rating

How 57 W 72Nd St 1St'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
76thpercentile

Out of 2750 buildings in this neighborhood, 660 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
