Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 548 E 89th Street in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Ricky and Audrey Wicks, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the past seven years since 2024. The property, constructed in 1927, has had a steady stream of service requests, including two significant building-related complaints in late 2024 and early 2025 regarding vacant or abandoned conditions, though these cases were ultimately closed. More recently, there have been plumbing violations recorded in February 2026, and an ongoing sidewalk inspection request from December 2025 that remains open as of now, which could potentially impact resident safety and accessibility. The property has also required attention to its exterior environment, with two tree-related service requests in 2025, including both a trim request and an emergency situation, indicating potential concerns about vegetation maintenance. While the building has had multiple service requests over the years, it's worth noting that some of these issues have been resolved through proper channels, as evidenced by the closed status of many historical reports.

Risk rating

How 548 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

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.
