Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 341 W 97th Street in the Roseland neighborhood, owned by DHJS LLC, is a 1934 construction that has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring problem with water accumulation in the basement, with three separate complaints about this issue filed between May 18 and May 21, 2026. The building has also had infrastructure-related concerns, including an alley sewer inspection request in May 2026, and a tree emergency reported in December 2025. The property has documented six building violations over the past seven years, though specific details of these violations are not available in the provided data. In total, there have been 40 service requests made to 311 over the past seven years, indicating frequent interaction with city services, though many of these appear to relate to street and public space concerns rather than building-specific issues, such as a pothole complaint in August 2025 and a stray animal complaint in January 2025. While the building is not facing any immediate critical safety issues based on the available data, the pattern of water-related complaints and the presence of building violations warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 341 W 97Th 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
86thpercentile
