Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 31 E 120th Place in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by County of Cook, D.B.A. C, has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved issues in recent years. The property has been under persistent scrutiny, with five documented building violations in the past seven years, including multiple open violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections in March 2023 and one from July 2021 that remains unresolved. Additionally, there has been a significant number of recent service requests, with ten open cases in 2026 alone, including building violations, construction permit issues, and multiple water-related problems in the basement. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by a sewer cave-in inspection request and sewer cleaning needs earlier this year, though one environmental complaint regarding air pollution from April 2026 was investigated and found to have no violation.

Risk rating

How 31 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

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
18thpercentile
