Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 126 E 120th Place in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, owned by Ari Turk and constructed in 1916, has experienced a notably high volume of issues over the past seven years. The most concerning recent developments are six unresolved building code violations from July 2024, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections. The property has accumulated a total of 21 building violations and 26 311 service requests in the past seven years, while the current owner has generated 33 building violations and 74 service requests in the same period. The 311 service requests reveal a mix of issues, including an open water in basement complaint from June 2026, and various animal-related complaints (vicious animal and stray animal) in 2026, along with a closed garbage cart maintenance issue. Historical records also show two environmental complaints against the owner in the past seven years, though these have been resolved through compliance. The property has received only minimal attention to structural improvements, with just two building permits issued within the last seven years, suggesting limited proactive maintenance or upgrades to the century-old structure.

Risk rating

How 126 E 120Th Pl'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
