West Pullman, Chicago IL 60628 25271030270000

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 132 E 120th Street property in West Pullman, owned by US Bank, is a 1925 building currently containing three parcels. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 17 service requests, though only four of these have occurred in the most recent seven-year period on record. These recent service requests demonstrate relatively routine urban maintenance issues, including a tree trimming request (no longer being accepted), a stray animal complaint, garbage cart maintenance, and one sanitation code violation, all of which have been successfully closed out. The property has maintained an active record with both the City of Chicago's 311 system and building permit applications, having filed one building permit in the past seven years. Prior to this period, there was one documented environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping in 2017, which was investigated but resulted in no confirmed violation. While the building's service request history shows regular maintenance needs typical for an older urban property, there are no recent or recurring issues that significantly impact resident safety or experience. The relatively low number of recent service requests compared to the total permitted in the region's records suggests either efficient building management or potential underreporting of maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 132 E 120Th 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
