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 two-unit residential property at 53 W 108th Place in Roseland, built in 1910 and currently owned by Dionne Kern, has had a limited history of service requests over the past seven years, with only four recorded incidents. The most recent of these, in January 2026, involved a water lead test visit request and has been marked as closed. Prior to this, there was a series of animal-related incidents in mid-2024, including two reports of stray animals (one in August and another in July) and a report of an injured animal in July, all of which were successfully resolved according to the records. While the property's documented service requests are relatively few in number, it should be noted that the most recent request pertaining to water quality testing in 2026 is the only incident directly related to building infrastructure or environmental health. The serial occurrence of animal-related incidents in July and August 2024, while resolved, indicates a temporary period of wildlife or stray animal presence in the vicinity during that summer.

Risk rating

How 53 W 108Th 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

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
65thpercentile
