Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 101 E 87th Street in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Oscar Mildred Irvin and constructed in 1963, has generated a total of 32 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The majority of recent complaints, specifically in February and March 2026, have been centered around parking issues, including three finance parking code enforcement reviews and complaints about public vehicles and valet services. Additionally, there have been street maintenance concerns during this same period, with two reports of potholes - one in the alley and another in the street - though these infrastructure issues are not directly related to the building's condition or management. While the volume of service requests is notable, it's worth mentioning that these recent incidents appear to be primarily related to street and parking matters rather than building-specific concerns, though the data only covers up to October 2023 and recent activity may not fully represent the building's historical service request pattern.

Risk rating

How 101 E 87Th 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

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.
