Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 514 W 116th Street in the West Pullman neighborhood, currently owned by Lula Brown, has been home to 18 building code violations and 13 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The structure, which dates back to 1898, has six open building violations recorded from June 27, 2019, and two additional unresolved violations from January 22, 2022, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections. More recently, the property has experienced multiple tree-related issues in 2026, with three open or recently closed requests regarding tree emergencies and debris cleanup, along with one closed water lead test visit request from November 2025. Prior to this, the building had one missed garbage pickup complaint in June 2025, though this was resolved. The persistence of open building violations from 2019 and 2022, while not directly related to resident health and safety, represents ongoing compliance issues that may require attention.

Risk rating

How 514 W 116Th 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
23rdpercentile
