Initial analysis

The property at 2941 E 96th Street in South Deering, owned by Dynamic Developers Inc, is a 115-year-old building that has experienced minimal documented issues over the past seven years. The building has one open building code violation from October 2019, related to a complaint-driven inspection, which appears to have remained unresolved. The 311 service request history shows six recorded incidents, with the most recent being a Divvy bike parking complaint in April 2026. The previous five requests primarily concerned tree-related matters, including three tree trim requests (two in January 2026 and one in November 2024 when planting requests were still being accepted), and two abandoned vehicle complaints (one in July 2025 and another in December 2024). These issues, while requiring municipal attention, primarily relate to exterior and neighborhood concerns rather than direct building safety or habitability matters, and all 311 requests have been marked as closed upon resolution. The building's permit history shows only one permit application in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available records.

Risk rating

How 2941 E 96Th 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
16thpercentile

Out of 376 buildings in this neighborhood, 316 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
