Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1712 E 85th Place in the Avalon Park neighborhood is a single-parcel property owned by Kenneth Johnson and was constructed in 1953. The building's recent service request history from the past seven years shows a pattern of municipal service needs, with a total of six documented 311 calls. The most notable cluster of incidents involves four separate abandoned vehicle complaints in 2025, which were all promptly closed by city services. Prior to these, there was one rodent baiting/rat complaint in October 2024 that was also resolved through the appropriate channels, and a similar abandoned vehicle complaint in May 2024. While the building's residential system appears to have no documented internal complaints or maintenance issues on record, the concentration of abandoned vehicle complaints in 2025 and the one reported rodent issue in late 2024 could be of interest to prospective residents regarding neighborhood conditions during that period.

Risk rating

How 1712 E 85Th Pl'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
