AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 812 E 88th Place in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Sheila D. Willis, is a 125-year-old structure dating back to 1898. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with only eight 311 service requests and one building permit on record. The majority of recent issues (all from 2025) have been related to tree management and maintenance, with three tree debris clean-up requests and one tree emergency recorded between June and September 2025. Earlier in 2025, there were also complaints about an abandoned vehicle and a missed garbage pick-up, though all these service requests have been marked as closed. The only building permit recorded in the past seven years was issued in 2019 for roof work, suggesting some maintenance activity had occurred during that period. While the number of reported issues is relatively low for a building of this age, the concentration of tree-related incidents in 2025 may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 812 E 88Th 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

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.
