Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 845 E 89th Street in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Jose R Martinez, has a documented history dating back to its 1923 construction. The property has experienced some notable issues in recent years, particularly in October 2022 when three complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded that remain open and unresolved as of the current date, representing the most significant concerns on the building's record. The property has also been the subject of multiple service requests, with a total of 15 logged under the owner's name over the past seven years. While many of these requests relate to routine maintenance matters such as garbage cart maintenance (five incidents) and tree-related issues (emergency response and removal inspection), it's worth noting that the most recent service requests from 2025 appear to have been addressed promptly, as all are marked closed. The building has had minimal permit activity, with only three permits pulled in the past seven years, though this number is not particularly unusual for a structure of its age and size.

Risk rating

How 845 E 89Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
