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 building at 214 E 116th Street in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, owned by Jose & Maria Diaz, was constructed in 1913 and has generated a total of 17 service requests through 311 over the past seven years. The most recent service activity includes a recycling pick-up request and a water lead test kit request from June 2025, which remains open as of the latest data. Notably, 2025 has seen multiple infrastructure-related concerns, including a plumbing violation and a leak check request in January, as well as a tree emergency reported in June. The property has also undergone minimal permitted improvements during this period, with only two building permits issued. While the building has maintained basic service requirements through regular requests, the concentration of service requests related to water infrastructure issues in early 2025, including lead testing and plumbing violations, suggests an emerging pattern of water system concerns that may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 214 E 116Th St Hse'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
