Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 609 E 89th Place in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Dorothy P Watkins, is a 1927 structure that has experienced a total of 12 documented service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent documented incidents span from early 2025 to late 2026, with the building facing several noteworthy issues. In 2025, the property encountered multiple concerning situations, including both nuisance and vicious animal complaints in May, and water-in-basement problems in March. The following months saw the building requiring municipal assistance for tree debris removal in October and ice/snow removal in January 2026. While all these service requests have been marked as closed, the nature and frequency of the incidents, particularly the animal-related complaints and water issue, warrant attention. The total of 12 service requests over the seven-year period suggests a relatively average level of municipal interaction for a building of this age and size, though the clustering of incidents in 2025 stands out within the building's service record.

How 609 E 89Th 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.
Out of 1891 buildings in this neighborhood, 756 are predicted to be safer.
