Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1825 W 87th St in Auburn Gresham, constructed in 1959, has experienced several concerning patterns over recent years. Notably, there is an ongoing issue with unsolved code violations, including four open violations from routine and complaint-driven inspections in 2019 and 2021, with the most recent inspection-related violation recorded in August 2025. The building's maintenance history is marked by an unusually high number of service requests through the 311 system, totaling 11 in the past seven years, with the most recent cases in 2026 concerning garbage cart maintenance and rodent issues, though these two requests have since been resolved. Additional environmental concerns have persisted, with documented issues including graffiti (December 2025), street lighting problems (November 2025), water drainage issues (August 2025), and a sanitation code violation (July 2025). While the building has had one building permit issued in the past seven years, the combination of unresolved code violations and multiple service requests suggests a pattern of ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 1825 W 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
11thpercentile

Out of 2843 buildings in this neighborhood, 2530 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
