Initial analysis

The property at 457 E 88th Place in Chatham is a 1926 building currently owned by E Veil, with a total of 10 documented 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent requests, both from June 2026, involve a tree removal inspection and an abandoned vehicle complaint, though both remain open. In 2025, there were several municipal service interactions: two tree-related requests (trim requests in May and September), a rodent baiting/rat complaint in January, and a water lead test visit request in early January, all of which have been closed. The building's service request history shows recurring issues with tree maintenance and some concerning safety matters, particularly the rodent problem and water lead testing conducted nearly three years ago. While most of the service requests have been addressed and closed, the most recent open requests regarding tree removal and vehicle concerns are worth noting, though their current status challenges interpretation given they are from a future date, possibly indicating an error in the record-keeping system.

Risk rating

How 457 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.
