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 2949 E 97th Street in South Deering, owned by Jose M Guerrero, has been standing since 1891 and has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of five documented incidents. The most recent activity, as of June 2026, involves an open request for tree removal inspection, while the previous tree-related issue from April 2026 (a trim request) has been closed. Three additional service requests from 2025 have been resolved, including a street light outage in December, graffiti removal in October, and a dead animal pickup in October. The building's service request history shows attention to typical urban maintenance issues, though the age of the property and its relatively limited request volume could indicate either effective maintenance practices or potentially underreported issues.

Risk rating

How 2949 E 97Th 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.
