Roseland, Chicago IL 60628 25153030080000 4 units · 1915

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 159 E 107th Street in Roseland, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Jimmie Gatheright, has a relatively limited service request history over the past seven years, with a total of 14 requests across two parcels owned by Gatheright. The building's documented service requests primarily consist of infrastructure-related issues in the immediate vicinity, including three street pothole complaints (two recorded in early 2026 and one in September 2025), two reports of non-functioning street lights (December 2025 and December 2024), and a tree trim request submitted in February 2026 which is no longer being accepted. These infrastructure issues appear to be the most significant recurrent problems in the building's vicinity, though they are municipal rather than building-specific concerns. Additional service requests include a street light outage in September 2025 and a report of an injured animal in December 2024, both of which have been resolved. While the building's documented service request history is relatively brief, with no reported internal building issues or safety violations, it's worth noting that the majority of requests have been for external environmental concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 159 E 107Th 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
37thpercentile
