Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 107 W 117th St in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, owned by Kevin Harris, is a 130-year-old property constructed in 1893. The building's record over the past seven years reveals significant ongoing concerns, with a total of 26 building violations recorded, all of which remain unresolved, with the majority stemming from multiple complaint-driven inspections in late 2019. Specifically, five consecutive violations were documented on October 29, 2019, and two on September 5, 2019, all falling into the same category of complaint-driven inspections, suggesting a pattern of unresolved tenant-reported issues. The property's permit activity shows minimal engagement with building improvements or compliance efforts, with only four permits pulled in the past seven years. The building's record includes one 311 service request in this period, though the nature and resolution of this request are not specified. The pattern of unresolved violations and limited permit activity over such an extended period is notable for a residential property of this age and size.

Risk rating

How 107 W 117Th 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
6thpercentile
