Unlock complete reportThe 551 E 89th Street property in Chatham, owned by LUSYL LLC, is a 1926 building with a complex maintenance history over the past seven years. The building has accumulated a total of 26 violations, with most recent concerns including an unresolved cluster of complaint-driven inspections from November 2020, while one permit-related inspection violation from November 2022 was resolved. The property has generated 36 service requests to 311, including multiple tree emergencies in 2025 and 2026, and at least one street light outage complaint in January 2026. Despite these various concerns, including three building permits issued in the past seven years, the property's most significant outstanding issues appear to be historical violations from 2020, with a relatively recent resolution of one violation in 2022. The frequency of tree-related service requests suggests ongoing environmental maintenance challenges in the property's vicinity.

How 551 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.
Out of 1891 buildings in this neighborhood, 1551 are predicted to be safer.
