Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 828 E 88th Place in the Chatham neighborhood, owned by N Ford, has been documented since its construction in 1908. The property has generated a total of seven service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with all requests originating from the current owner. The most recent of these, from June 2026, is an open request regarding tree debris cleanup, suggesting an ongoing maintenance issue in this area. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing external environmental concerns, with three tree-related service requests (two closed and one open), one street light issue, one pothole complaint, and one weed removal request in 2025. While none of these issues appear to directly impact the building's structural integrity or core systems, they do indicate regular engagement with city services for neighborhood maintenance concerns, primarily focusing on external environments like street conditions and vegetation management.

Risk rating

How 828 E 88Th 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.
