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 property at 116 E 117th St, a two-unit building located in West Pullman, is owned by Gerardo Arreola and dates back to 1898. The building's recent history shows minimal activity, with only three 311 service requests filed in the past seven years. The most recent service requests from March 2026 involve street lighting issues and tree debris cleanup, while two previous street light complaints from November 2024 and March 2026 have been resolved. Notably, the property had multiple vacant/abandoned building violations issued in August and September 2014, all related to improper security and maintenance of a vacant building requiring a watchman. However, all of these violations resulted in "City non-suit" dispositions with no fines imposed. No other significant building violations or safety concerns are recorded in the available data, suggesting improved property management in recent years, though it's worth noting that vacant building violations typically indicate a period of disrepair or neglect which may have required subsequent remediation.

Risk rating

How 116 E 117Th St 1'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
