Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 102 W 73rd Street in Grand Crossing, owned by Kevin Lomax, is a 125-year-old structure showing concerning levels of maintenance challenges over the past seven years. The property has accumulated a total of 24 building code violations, with two notably significant patterns of complaint-driven inspections in 2020. Of particular concern are two open violations from November 2020, and one permit-related inspection violation from June 2022, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. While the building has had four permits issued in the past seven years, the most recent fly dumping complaint logged through 311 services in November 2024—though this was not a direct reflection on the building's condition—adds to the property's problem profile. Two additional building violations from June 2020 were resolved, suggesting some responsiveness to certain code requirements, though the high number of total violations and persistent open cases indicates ongoing challenges with building maintenance and code compliance.

Risk rating

How 102 W 73Rd St'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
19thpercentile

Out of 2750 buildings in this neighborhood, 2228 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
