Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1230 W 72nd Place in Englewood, owned by Tiwana D Wallace, has been experiencing ongoing regulatory challenges over the past several years. The 1903 structure currently shows an alarming pattern of unresolved building code violations, with three open complaint-driven inspections recorded most recently in December 2025, along with additional open violations from August 2021 - suggesting a persistent lack of compliance with building codes. The building's maintenance history further reveals 24 service requests made through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent requests in 2026 indicating ongoing issues requiring attention. While some previous violations have been resolved - including building violations in April 2026 and November 2025, as well as sanitation code violations in September 2025 - the frequency and nature of the recent requests, particularly the unresolved violations, raise concerns about the building's current condition and management responsiveness. The property has also seen multiple sanitation-related issues in 2025, with two closed violations in September 2025, along with an August 2025 tree removal inspection that was completed.

Risk rating

How 1230 W 72Nd Pl 1'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
