Auburn Gresham, Chicago IL 60620 20324290100000

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 property at 859 W 86th Street in Auburn Gresham, owned by Irene Crowder, is a 130-year-old building constructed in 1893. Over the past seven years, there have been 15 documented 311 service requests associated with this address, with the most recent being a water lead test kit request filed on January 16, 2026, which currently remains open. The building's service request history from 2025 shows various departmental engagements, including a tree removal inspection (closed December 2025), garbage cart maintenance (closed October 2025), a building violation (closed August 2025), and two separate abandoned vehicle complaints filed on July 21, 2025 (both closed). While the number of service requests is relatively modest for a building of this age, the presence of an open water lead test kit request as of January 2026 may require particular attention, though it represents only one of multiple service interactions with city departments over the past year.

Risk rating

How 859 W 86Th 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.
